I live my life and protect my children and privacy by not using apps that are “free”, nothing in this world is free, nothing! So if the app is free, I believe that means I am the product being sold. I only have one app from them and that’s YouTube, because Rumble is still lacking DIY channels so personally I use it for said DIY tutorials, I also have two children that also use my account. I figure that way their algorithm creating your digital ID is all over the place making it difficult to create a lidentity to sell from an adult and two children five years difference in age using the same login account plus I can always check history and see what those monsters at Google are trying to push On my kids. I also use a Gmail account for all my spam email and when I used their cloud storage I stored high resolution wide format rasterized images Which makes them difficult to compress without losing the resolution values so it just to took up space a lot of space. I work in Graphic Signage wide format printing so I had a lot of fun simply making massive files from flattening vector images into TIFFs with 1200 dpi, and then uploading them to Google drive. I don’t use that account anymore but I never closed it. Occasionally I login on a public computer just to see if it’s still there and if it’s still full. Haven’t used it since 2016ish outside of adding more images if they offer up more cloud storage space.
