degoogling is the term. Its a lot harder than you think. I think you would be more successful in divorcing your online persona from your PII.

i can't see why spotify would be a problem.
in general, if you're making your life objectively worse as a result of removing these then it's illogical to do so. there are good reasons to stop using ig/fb/google/amazon though.
beyond this, people need to be man enough to vote with their dollars. that includes ad revenue these fukkers makeMake Europe Germany Again

I live/work in Shanghai, where google/fb/ins/twitter/youtube/etc are blocked. And while I use vpn if I need to access any of that, over the years I basically stopped using any of the social media platforms and it's absolutely great. The only problem is when I want to bang, tinder is using fb thus it also doen't work without VPN. I'm missing out on some non tech savy local sloots and basically have to reply on constant supply of ABCs here..

Bro....
All these things are just distraction machines that take you away from the real world, collect and sell your data.
Cant do away with my MBP and iphone though, i need my misc bros....
How can the internet be controlled by only a handful of companies? Its crazy to me."The more I began to lift weights, the more I became addicted to the feeling of being bigger and stronger."

Deleted posts still show up in google searches. There was a post were a ******* posted my full name here few years back, asked a mod to delete it, she deleted but it was still on google. Had to contact google to remove it. They did eventually but it was just one post; you are going to have to do it for every single post of yours

If you’re gonna ditch your iPhone, what then? Android? That’s google.
I’d like to be off the map of google/Apple/Microsoft... but there ain’t a Linux phone and I need work programs.480s / 370b / 495d / 235 x 2 SOHP

A lot of posts like "Well what about this! HUH?" Nothing is set in stone, if their is no viable alternative I will keep what I have for now. This isn't all or nothing.
In saying that I know I can be out of the Google Ecosystem without much issue so that is the first goal.
Here are some other interesting tools I am looking at to clean up a bit too:
