I bought a cheap Android tablet the other day. It wouldn't allow me to sign into Google Play with my gmail account unless I pay $1.99 ransom for storage every month.
Then it occured to me, I don't need google.
All of the apps I need are on zapstore, obtanium, or aurora.
So I don't need to pay $1.99 to Google every month.
I know it's only two bucks a month.
I just don't want to support surveillance capitalism.
