Google is like a useful acquaintance who inevitably one day will pull a knife and threaten to cut you. You have to be ready to leave at a moment’s notice.
Use them, dont let them use you.
This is true even if you are an enterprise customer
Why wait? Everyone should start migrating away from that shit yesterday.

Umm…that does not sound like an acquaintance
But are they useful?
I’ve been anticipating then begging me for more personal info…I went ahead and created a new paid email with separate provider, migrated all my personal important stuff to that and set it up with my own domain .
The day they demand more info, I’ll just abandon it. Google is the new Hotmail. Nothing but spam
What is the most private way to register a domain? Considering switching from hotmail to a Raspberry PI (postfix) mail server.
If Google wants to do so, they can do the same with YouTube.
There are other email providers out there, but there’s only really one service like YouTube.
EDIT: Also, there are a lot of documents out there in Google Docs. I mean, if they start requiring a Google account with personal information to view those, they control access to a lot of stuff. And while hosting documents (dunno about editable documents) probably isn’t as hard as hosting video, you can’t just yourself migrate out of that the way you can with email. Need all the people sticking information on Google Docs to also do so.
There are better video platforms in terms of structure etc. and also for self-hosting with peertube. The problem is that people can’t migrate to an alternative of the same size. It’s the chicken and egg problem. The big ones were just lucky to be the first at the right time.
Charge your phone
It is charging
Had that happen to me without using Grayjay.
I’m using Grayjay with VPN and without any account. no problem
