I still access YouTube coz TV sucks and there is no better service out there, YouTube Music is by far the best service, thanks to YouTube you won't get access to that content elsewhere.
Other than those 2 specific use case:
* CloudFlare: Custom domain is cheap * E-mail: Proton emails with custom domains, if you change your mind tomorrow, bring your domain with you. * DNS: Pi-Hole + Unbound recursive DNS: Avoid any public DNS, force 13 root nameservers instead * Search Engine: Google as we knew is gone, Perplexity AI has been an awesome tool. It not just works "fine" but gives me every single source it used to answer me so I can cross check it. Google Gemini refuses to give you the sources it used and ChatGPT is dogshit * Social Media: I still have social media coz otherwise, groups and hobbies gets pretty difficult without them. I no longer user their apps tho but mobile web. I cannot fully shutdown Google, Meta, Microsoft from collecting my data, but I can make them have an useless broken profile about me.
For years now, I don't know what ADs mean, and the peace of mind that my data is safer than never before.

Not a ton of people are already set up for this. I don't feel like I would know how to; I'm a programmer, not an IT guy. And what do you do when the DNS decides you don't deserve a domain name any more?
Also: another great way to deal with cloud storage and syncing to devices etc. is to just not have all those other devices that you'd want to sync to, or be willing to bring them to your main computer physically for syncing. And back up to something in the same physical space. Been working great for me for decades.
