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

      You can actually use windows without an account. When installing windows, they will force you to log in. But If you simply use an account that has been blocked it will create a local user instead of an online user. People use no@thankyou.com and it works well

        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.

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

        It was a hard decision for me to not migrate my mojang account, but it felt better after the deadline officially passed.

        Just pirate it and play or host pirated servers. (You already paid for it anyway)
