Oh I don't. I just move them there because Twitch deletes them after a few days. I don't care about them, it's just an easy 1 click button to save them on YouTube.
In fact I stopped relying on Google services when they banned the Terraria developers Google account and the only way he got it back was by canceling the Stadia release of Terraria.
Since that day, I switched to ProtonMail with a custom domain, immich.app, proton calendar, and more.
Realized that unless I have to power to potentially cost Google millions of dollars, Google won't even look my way.
That's right. You are simply in better hands if you actually pay for a service. If google offers you something for free, they do not really owe you anything, you are not entitled to that service.
I priced it out recently and protonmail is more expensive than paying for Google business email and extra space. I thought about switching but I can't think of a way it will significantly make my life better. I'd rather pay some money so hopefully I'm not the product anymore.
