Okay. Allow me to rephrase it. Knowing what you know about these products, can you live without Google, Youtube, Gmail for a day? This is what I refer to above when I say 'the Internet'. I reckon most people can't go a week.

The only one of those I ever interact with on purpose is Youtube, only via youtube-dl, and only because other people refuse to use reasonable means of distributing video content (eg bittorrent).
Absolutely? I know I’m atypical for an internet user, but apart from YouTube I rarely use Google products, and YouTube is a nice-to-have, not a necessity.
