No email so I wouldn't be screwed at all.

>no captcha
welp

i'll have to go back to using my ISPs DNS.
that's it.

I only use Gmail for stuff that I wouldn't use my real email account (GMX) for.

It's basically just above throwaway tier.

That's about it.

I'd be pissed that my apps on the play store got taken down, but on the bright side I wouldn't have to support them anymore with no Gmail account

I really have to migrate away from GMail huh...

I'd lose my casual email address but that's about it.
Oh and captcha, and internet searching.
That's about it.

No Google analytics, no location services, no gboard, no Chrome botnet, no Google mass surveillance.

Actually sounds pretty good.

>no Google mass surveillance
Dont worry you'll still be watched

>no captcha
This.

Not really all email providers are bad...

I can be my own. Just buy a domain name and rent a VPS.

-I use gmail a a secondary account so not a big issue
-I follow a lot of youtube channels so that would be a bit of an issue
-We sync our calendars with google at work. That would be the only real issue

I don't use any other google service and I'm looking forward to using android without gapps soon

Thank you for having the best reply of the day.

Pretty screwed.

The loss of Google Search will basically shut down 30%-80% of everything. Maps will shut down maybe 20%. Google Play down so 90% of Android phones are dead. Lots of companies use Google Apps so they'll all be screwed. Lots of schools use ChromeOS, they'll all be screwed too.

A lot of people use Google DNS, to avoid shitty ISP DNS or government censorship. They're all screwed.

Any websites using App Engine or Google Storage, all down.

Google Sites, all down.

Google Translate, down. Lots of tourists and tourism businesses screwed.

Google Drive, down. More businesses affected probably.

Unless you live on an island, grow all of your food, and don't use the Internet, you will feel the impact pretty strongly.

>A lot of people use Google DNS, to avoid shitty ISP DNS or government censorship. They're all screwed.
there's dozens of DNS freely available to use
8.8.8.8 isn't even google's ip, level3 is just letting them use it as one of the easiest to remember ips
level3 would just change it to whoever else is reliable

I wouldn't be able to finish watching the meme playlist. Otherwise, not much. Sucks being stuck on Android N though.

/thread.

>duckduckgo
>protonmail
>ublock
were it not for this place it'd take me a while to notice

>downloaded all my email using pop3 and backed-up it off for archival purposes

>openNIC dns default on all devices
>ddg or startpage default on even media consuming devices
>HEREmaps master race
>bb10 user so getting androids best without any trace of google

it would take me quite a while to notice, maybe if i went on youtube

Why would you route your traffic through their botnet DNS servers

It wouldn't really affect me.

No captcha would affect me the most.
I would have to switch from startpage to ixquick/duckduckgo/qwant/searx
Sometimes I use their similar-image search if tineye returns no results.

i think that's it

ruh roh

Very

Apart from my main email, couldn't continue building my web app for which I use firebase. Have been learning that shit for about a year now and would have to start learning another platform from scratch.

Also no youtube would suck since I spend a lot of my free time there

>Hey Sup Forums how screwed would you be if google shut down all services tomorrow?
not as fucked as the rest of the world

>Mah YouTube (music) playlist gone
>Gmail spam account gone
>Hentai collection gone
>A lot of photos that i took while shitting on my toilet gone (mostly of my legs and walls)

i dont use any of their services so i would not even notice.

there are better non botnet alternatives to everything you listed.

>Not using legacy captcha

I would switch from StartPage to Searx

Well YouTube would suck, not getting my catvideo fix but archive.org would fill up with those quickly enough I guess. Other than that, I don't even have an account at them so I wouldn't lose shit.

how does Searx work ?

Startpage would break and that'd be pretty annoying. I block all of Google IPs (even Youtube and with the exception of Recaptcha) in hosts so I wouldn't miss much.

Jesus people like said use legacy captcha not the reBotnet!

>legacy captcha
>not google
okay

see

Not very because that'll mean shit's down for everyone. Can't be personally blamed for anything at that point.

I'm not seeing it.

That's Google too, dumbass

Searx searches using many different engines.. Go to searx.me or .ch and go to settings

I'd miss my youtube vids, but could live without.

-calendar syncing is done with git/remind/radicale (self hosted) server
-contacts are stored in radicale (self hosted)
-IM is done with conversations/gajim/ self hosted prosody server
-email is sendmail/procmail (oldfag) on ubuntu vps

Not an issue for me

This

>conservashits
>logical

Apparently a lot of different people won't accept non-standard emails though.

I would be turbo fucked
>Use chrome
>Use gmail
>Use gdrive & gdocs to backup shit
>Lose all my bookmarks
>Lose all my cookies

It would take a a while to recover, though I do have all my info saved elsewhere so I would recover eventually.

>No search
meh
>No chrome
meh
>no gmail
its a porn account anyways
>No youtube
... mmm ... it's so usefull tho...
>No android
time for a windows phone i guess
>no maps
meh
Do they do anything else?
Am I correct in assuming that you mean all their products go poof?

Shit, I forgot about Youtube, that would be a pain to lose.

>Lose all my cookies
Hahahahaha

Losing all the shit I have in gmail would hurt. Other than that, I don't think I would really care too much.

I didn't
>4th thing
And yes it would be. A lot of diy things like working on my truck and building tables and shit would be a lot harder.

Can you list them please?

Just fine. Home hosted mail and nextcloud. Don't use Android botnet. Plenty of other search engines out there.

>since 2017
good times

That would be actually a good thing.
Nowadays YouTube is fuckin' cancer.

OP says "google shut down all services tomorrow", not "google blocked just you from their services"

I'd be fine. I only have a few things tied to gmail, which could be changed in a matter of minutes. I also keep alternative copies of anything hosted on a google service.
The thing that would suck most is losing youtube. While there is a lot of garbage on it, in my experience it still has the widest variety of any niche or obscure content I may look for.

I use yandex for everything, I would be fine myself. My workplace wouldn't be fine, but whatever.

Pretty screwed

And nothing of value was lost.

>GMX
please switch to something else, for your own sake

GMX (free tier?) is terrible

>no Youtube
>no Google Search

I would probably lose my job and then lose my mind because what else do I do all day

Only 25% screwed but I'm making efforts to shave that down to around 10%.

Let's see, I don't use any major google services excluding JewTube so I'd be fine, in fact, the internet would become a much better place as all google botnet and tracking would finally die.

>he uploads his shit to the "cloud"
Retard, you would deserve losing all your data.

it's easier to use

I'd be happy, we would get a ton of alteratives to each of the different services and maybe even actual competition if the other companies don't manage to instantly ruin everything.

How do I get to use v1 captcha when creating a thread?

not how that works stupid

>A lot of photos that i took while shitting on my toilet gone (mostly of my legs and walls)
This is the strangest hobby I've heard of in a long time.

0

This should be a wakeup call for the stupid google dependents

Do you think she's still there?

>care bout google botnet
kek

let's see, I don't have email with them, I don't really use google drive, I rarely even go to youtube, and I don't have an android phone

I think I'd be fine

>gmail on own domain, could switch provider
>Google Photos all synced locally via Drive
>Latest Google Takeout copy is three months old

I'd be fine. Also, my ability to do this is why I use Google over all other providers.

Then a lot of people are faggots who won't get my business. Funny thing how the free market works.

You fucking tard, it still uses google for that.

This
Sounds great

>Google announces location sharing with "Friends" at I/O 2017
>Maps suddenly starts using location 24/7
Hmm.

It would be one of the greatest things that could happen to mankind.

no AdSense, Mail and Search that would be very unpleasant !!!

i'd lose emails that i've been too lazy to backup. i'd kind of like it, actually. while it sucks to lose a personal drive without a backup, there's something very cleansing and beautiful about it.

Not much.

>private e-mail
>owncloud on a VPS
>Signal
>DDG

Only lack of android would fuck me over, if it happened.

i'd have to bring up the effort to change my default search engine

>No email
>No Photo
>No youtube
Meh

If Microsoft goes down
SHeeeit

>no doubleclick
>no ads
>less NSA snooping

Yeah i can't imagine life without it!

I use absolutely none of their services apart from youtube.

But that would just leave more time to watch animus.

ITT: Sup Forumsfags disguised as Sup Forumsfags who dont understand the state of the internet and how fucked they'd actually be if google services were unavailable for ALL.

ALL YOU FUCKING RETARDS, >>ALL

I am unsure what the problem would be.

no www
no search engine
no android

Be kind of irritated because I'd have to wait for the Sup Forums developer(s?) to implement another captcha

>no www
Wrong, no google does not mean that http would suddenly die.

>no search engine
There are non-google www search engines (and non-www search engines as well)

>no android
Who gives a shit.

never heard about ggogle

there's websites other than Google.
there's search engines other than Google.
a large percentage of the world's mobile phones not working anymore? sounds like a positive development to me, so many of our issues are a result of mobile.

What's wrong with GMX? If I'm not using Gmail what else should I use

listen here you smug fucks.

>no www
you are retarded to think that. there are many other dns services which i already use, and other people uses isp dns by default so as soon as isp changes their default they would be good.

other than that google analytics would be fucked --which affects no one--
and sites that cache their fonts through google fonts would have to live with my system default font until they fix it

>no search engine
>calling others Sup Forumsfags when using google search

>no android
fuck people that uses googled android.
also applications that require google services would update themselves in a heartbeat and spam their users with sms's containing update links.(since gmail and gplay would be gone)

android would not stop working just because it couldnt reach the google servers.


only thing that will matter would be hospitals and other state agency that uses google docs or whatever. their local files would stay and they would recover, but basically they would go out of business for couple days.

TL;DR : NOTHING OF A VALUE WOULD BE LOST

except some stock brokers jumping off s/e
