While you're smart to consciously avoid use of those platforms, the vast majority of people still do.
BTW, I don't believe most people when they say they've entirely removed themselves from GOOG's ecosystem. Most people can't, because they don't take steps to control their DNS. You run your own NGFW or manage all of your DNS connections at home? Awesome. Let's assume you also don't have an Android smartphone. Ever use any "free" (ad-supported) app like Waze? How about browse almost any website on your mobile phone while on a carrier network? Boom, you're tracked...no, "incognito/private" browsing isn't enough. Even if you're 100% Tor, I am sorry to say you're trackable if you visit any of the top 7,000+ sites in the world.
I've been able to make very short spurts as an IT professional to be out of that network. I believe my longest stretch so far is about 3 weeks, but I consider that number a bit of a cheat because it includes vacation where I was entirely unplugged.

I give tattoos and sell at the flea market, for those who stock me Hartville (ohio) flea market, get your Amish on. You can see me there on weekends, look for my tattooo on my wrist, "the old republic" Ya sith! I am not only tracable, I dont mind it. Track me, find me, In real life I will have a real conversation, I will look you in the eyes and I will know if you are lying. Am I lying? I would give my phone # out, it is a land line and we can talk, 1st I need to meet you, size you up, you wanna fear being tracked, you have no idea what fear is...

Well then you're not very consistent in your claims to be off GOOG, then, are ya? ;) You also linked Youtube in an earlier post, which is owned by GOOG, dude. You're stalked by them for your information because it's sellable. Fearing being tracked is missing the point.
This post reads like it wants to retread that old shitty SEAL meme. I didn't accuse you of lying; I don't know you.
