    I believe this is how we can cripple the US.

    I just switched my services over and there are some great alternatives, we have just been pre-programmed to use the American default brands.

    Adobe, Microsoft, Apple, Google, Amazon all easy to replace.

    The only challenging one so far is YouTube, content is just lacking elsewhere, but atleast with adblockers YouTube isn’t getting my money.

        That’s a great idea and I may do the same, because I have the means. I won’t blame ANYONE that can’t because they are just struggling to get by, though. There’s going to be a lot of pain and a lot of people are going to have to go into survival mode. If they have to buy the cheapest shit at Walmart to get by, I won’t judge.

      TBF, just leaving YouTube would be better. There’s plenty of information out there which don’t need some glorified video hosting platform (books, blogs, wikis and so oh). I really struggle trying to understand people’s addiction to YT…

      Any recommendations? It seems a lot of my alternatives are turning heel and I would like more options. Preferably ones not likely to turn heel.
