Good reminder to de google yourself.

Losing your YouTube account also means your gmail.

How many things do you have that use your gmail for authentication? Many services do not let you migrate off your signup email.

Start today: buy your own domain name and sign up to an email provider with it. It does not take long to set up, but make sure you have auto renewal enabled to protect yourself.

This is a big one. I have a lot of Google photos usage, and while I've tried OneDrive and PrintDrive, and while both are decent they don't really match up and I've been hesitant to self host immach or something because to ke the point of a cloud photo storage was to be part of my 321 backup strategy.

Getting bounced from photos for youtube usage would really be a tough pill, but it would definitely hasten my exit.
