using google in 2026 is self imposed risk

I genuinely don't understand why (at least power users) users don't seem to understand this, they never "own" their account, thousand have lost everything due to a mistake, login once via anonymizing solution and so-on and bam, account ban, I've lost so much money in "crypto" (on some exchanges) because of 2-FA perma loss due to Gmail ban back in 2015, storing your business on Google and mixing-up with your personal life is just reckless at this point, it's not like people don't "know" that they can lose everything from 1 day to another, I hope this movement of moving out from Google will be much more generalized.
