I’ve just watched the video. I find it pretty outrageous. The word about it should spread.

I do not have any of GAFAM (Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft) accounts and this is nice "achievement" to have in life for me.
Maybe if I would need them for something important like becoming a video creator, having to publish an Android app for a company or promote my buissness on social media I would create one. But for just one game it's a pass for me. The most important game in my life, but I have grown up and do not play it anymore.

That is an impressive achievement. Out of curiosity, do you have a smartphone? And if so, which operating system do you use?

With most of my things I use being standardized or common formats, I find deGoogled Android builds to more than enough.
Currently LineageOS on my OnePlus. I have a phone with Linux mobile for testing, it's close but missing things like camera is too much.

I'm on the journey to get there too... :') I hope I succeed.

There is no success to have here. You get rid of 5 big tech things, but left 2, that won't mean you failed :P.
It's not something to be avoided at all costs, just something unhealthy to freedom of one and society.
