I still use gmail and youtube. Trying to slowly get off gmail. It’s been difficult as I don’t have the time to sit down and look through what I need to transfer over. I’ve already got a NorthMail address, so at least that’s a step.
Comment on google's getting pissy about using their shit while logged out

Everyone has their breaking points. The enshittification will continue until morale improves (by leaving Google).
The only Google properties I still use are YouTube and Scholar (occasionally).

I have gmail forwarding my email to my new account outside of Google. I have a “Gmail” folder on my non-Google account where all these forwarded emails get dropped.
I have been updating my email address on these forwarded emails for over a year. I’ve had this gmail address since gmail started so it’s taking some time. It is a process but I am winning.

I use Proton and can highly recommend. Others will recommend you alternatives, but one extra reason for Proton is they target actively gmail users and built a tool to make the switch easier: proton.me/blog/proton-mail-connect-gmail

Pirating youtube is pretty doable right now. There’s invidious which is just a mirror then there’s ytdlp for people who fuck with command lines. Or Stacher if you don’t
