I loved Google and felt about them the way some people feel about all things Apple, but since Alphabet was formed, I've become progressively more dissatisfied with many of their services. The moment Google Search went to sh*t, I knew it was over. They have developed or bought and perfected amazing things like Earth, Maps, Android and more and I was permanently logged into their service on every device.

They are distracting me with shiny trinkets while stealing my cattle behind my back. So I created a fresh account with no link to the real me and every last permission I was able to deny, I did. I have to be logged into Google for all my Android devices to be useful to log into sites without sign-up and to have control over YouTube.
