    Google controls 90% of the internet

    Google doesn’t control shit, and you’re referring to the web, not the internet. Nobody forces you to use YouTube, Maps or their search engine. The websites you visit choose to incorporate Google analytics and ads, which you can easily block if you feel enslaved in that sense.

        So don’t buy a fucking iPhone or a Google Pixel or whatever, it’s your choice.

          Meaning now I cannot use any phone and am now locked out of the modern age.

          Your refusal to admit a problem does not remove that problem.

            There are plenty of options for running Android distributions free of Google influence.

                Wrong about what? I’m stating facts and you’re crying about being forced to use products by big companies, which is entirely incorrect.

                  You’re missing the greater point, and that’s the problem. Think about what we’re all trying to tell you for five minutes.
