I believe this is how we can cripple the US.

I just switched my services over and there are some great alternatives, we have just been pre-programmed to use the American default brands.

Adobe, Microsoft, Apple, Google, Amazon all easy to replace.

The only challenging one so far is YouTube, content is just lacking elsewhere, but atleast with adblockers YouTube isn't getting my money.

TBF, just leaving YouTube would be better. There's plenty of information out there which don't need some glorified video hosting platform (books, blogs, wikis and so oh). I really struggle trying to understand people's addiction to YT...

I like long form video content from someone who is passionate about a subject

To each their own, I guess. I prefer written stuff.

Me too. A good written guide is always way more effective. There rare today though :/

Shout-out to Gamers Nexus for making a written site for all their content https://gamersnexus.net/ tho i recognize that's not very helpful for avoiding American lol
