If nobody in Europe paid for Google products think of the economic benefit to Europe if all that saved cash was then spent by the people on European products and services.

I feel you’re trying to oppose the decision and your arguments against it are all valid for the current system 😂.
What landlords are you talking about?

All of them. They’re parasites.
And I’m not opposed to ditching US tech, quite the opposite, but let’s not pretend it ends with a load of spare money for Europe because trickle up economics is real and it just ends in our own billionaires having it all, who’ll just invest it all in US tech stocks anyway…

The last one I am actively paying for is YouTube premium. I don’t think there is a good alternative yet…
Either the alternative has critical features missing
Or they are not loud enough to have people crosspost to it

Youtube + UBlock Origin is a good alternative to paying Google money every month.

Using channel URLs as RSS feeds + yt-dlp means i don’t even visit the site (when i do uBlock Origin does wonders on Firefox).

There is a difference between video content and the software delivering that content.
The content is unlikely to go open source.
