Did you enquire with any if they had sold/shared your data. I suppose it could be an endless quest trying to trace and delete everything. I know that wasn’t your aim. Just curious as I am starting to do this. We can’t trust online with anything anymore so time to start wiping my footprints of what I still can. And my account list is a good place to start.

I don’t feel like I am being scalped for every ounce of data.

YouTube, celebrities, influencers.

Agree. Made a real effort in recent years to question the crap what I really need, and what’s a want vrs a need.

I feel a lot happier not buy stuff upon stuff. I’m trying to buy as much used/second hand as possible.

I don’t understand many of the product hypes. Why would you pay more to endorse someone’s brand. The cups. Like $50 for a cup. That’s crazy, you still drink the same water out of it.

Great read thanks. It’s a quest I have stated here and there but you methods an awareness gives inspiration to the tedious task. Would you be willing to share the email template you used?

Thought I was the only one. As I was reading replies I was wondering if I was doing it wrong.

Grainy vids and bad audio, I’d rather have that authentic effort than the highly polished regurgitated bulsheet narrated with a YouTube voice we see now.

If I see something advertised or pushed by them i immediately question the integrity of the product. I can’t trust them or the brand.

Anything like this, It has the opposite the intended effect

You are correct. But the right tool in the wrong hands is still non credible in the eyes of perception.

This is my take. Elon just showed the world what we all knew. The tool is not trustworthy. All other AI suppliers are busy trying to work on credibility that grok just butchered.

Same always bought my kids Nintendo. I am resistant to the switch 2 and rather proudly my teenager came and told me they are not impressed with Nintendo’s practices and does not want it.

This console is gonna be a hard no from me. If I can’t own my stuff they don’t get my money.

Bamboo sheets are pretty nice. They have weight to them but keep you cool in the summer.

Quilt cover?

Are you saying the European ladies are going to Dubai to hook?

I think that’s the worry. Do I have to start again. Will my stuff be disrupted. Spotify has counted on me sleepwalking though with them and not moving because of this fear. They have had enough of my money.

I had to laugh at the leaving page “if you leave me now you’ll take away the biggest part of me”. Spotify is not a human and I’ll take my money. They need to get lost with the emotive marketing, Spotify and the CEOs actions speak louder.

My hard earned money and who I spend it with is one of my biggest voices in my world.

Been thinking of booting them for a whilst. Just cancelled. Better late than never.

What’s the biggest lie you pulled off?

Likely

Yeh my family treat me like I am a nut job. I only swapped away from google and ask them to think about the orgs they spend their money on for example Amazon.

It’s amazing how many people got on board with Covid conspiracies but questioning where you data goes, who’s using it, what for, no that’s a bit far lol.

Cleaning needs adding to this list. Not just wash dishes The ability so see dirt, make a schedule, etc.
