I’ve been so upset with google for a long time. It might be seamless if you don’t live in china or whatever, but for me it’s been pain for years. A few years ago they stopped accepting my credit card. this year they stopped accepting my gf’s card (she’s chinese). I tried to verify my identity with passport images and utility bills for months. I have a lot of stuff spanning over a decade there. I tried to rage delete everything but Google made it so difficult that i got tired out a few times. I finally did it. Well, not quite. it’s sointertwined with every service and account i have. it’s such a pain. I am working full time emigrating to protonmail for now. Thing is i’ve been so scarred i don’t trust protonmail either.

    Proton is not free of controversy either. Check well to be sure that you’re comfortable with them.

      exactly. i’m not. that’s why i was looking for ipfs, maybe with proof of replication solutions. there’s only dead crypto scam solutions out there
