It took a few months preparation but I deleted all my google accounts today, and it feels good.

      If you don’t buy stuff online, from a personal perspective, yes. Avoiding servers it uses? Far less so.

      I deleted my Amazon account and swore never to order from them again, and so far that’s been a effortless affair. Using smaller vendors and bookstores on principle makes me happy. I deleted my Microsoft account as well, but since I don’t use Windows that was really more of a formality than anything else. Google I stopped using and am never signed in to, but I haven’t deleted the account I opened in 2004, and I still fetch mail from it. I cleared all information from it that I could, and that’ll have to be good enough for now. When it goes a year without receiving a meaningful message I will consider getting rid of it entirely.

      Yep, after you realize the majority of the stuff you can buy of Amazon is mass produced trash with zero quality. It was easy to remove.
