This is more wishful thinking than reality.
- Amazon
- I try to avoid ordering from Amazon wherever possible, but it’s not always possible. For example, when I want to buy the new Pendulum EP as mp3 and the only store where I can actually buy the music instead of streaming it, is Amazon Music.
- Facebook/Meta
- I’ve stopped using Facebook years ago, but i still use Whatsapp as my main messenger and get memes and recipes in Instagram.
- Google
- I’ve stopped using most Google services like Gmail, Drive and the likes. Youtube has no real alternative, so I only access it over third party apps like Invidious (Web) and Grayjay (Android). I have a Google Account which I mostly use for accessing Aurora Store.
- Twitter
- I was never active on twitter, but since Elon bought it and I went to the Fediverse, there is no reason to use it.
- Spotify
- I really value owning my music, and streaming it goes directly against that, so no, thanks.
