no, I understand that, I just don't like or care about those websites that much
sure but "we have to get a new mail provider" is a different problem than "oops the one ad market is gone"

right! that was pretty much my entire point, was it not
-
perhaps I misunderstood, I took your meaning to be that people depend necessarily on the constellation of google services
-
whereas I am arguing in most cases the dependence is merely incidental
-
yeah my intent was to explain why, bc of the ad market (google's real biz; the rest is all just chaff for antitrust investigators & laymen)…
-
…that even people like you and me are wayyyy more dependent on google for the existence of our daily world, than you might think
-
and that their willingness to censor things (see article at TPM) inadvertently affects even people like us, as it distorts the info market
-
or, see also that day or so when
@jordanbpeterson was locked out of all of his google services for "violating TOS" including his email -
he angered the censorship gods on youtube, and the result was all his emails for a decade+ were gone, and they denied his appeal as well
