You don't really need a YouTube account though. Not saying it doesn't suck, but you don't need it to buy groceries. Don't even need a Google account.

Plus IMO Google aren't trying to censor your speech, they just have asinine systems and zero customer support.

You dont need wechat either when theres more popular alipay. Or unionpay / jdpay. Even social credit doesn't deny essentials. It sucks not having wechat but even that's a matter of getting new sim+account. I'm not trying to draw equivalency. Just musing how shitty dealing with google is.
