I've had the same Google account since time immemorial. About a year ago, Google started hassling me to hand over my date of birth. I had long lived without access to "mature" Youtube content. But now Google began bombarding me with pop ups on my Android phone. I kept refusing. In retaliation, Google took my ancient GMail account hostage, blocking access behind an unskippable demand for my DOB. I had no choice but to cave and provide them with a date. I was livid.

Now that months have passed and my jets have cooled, I would like to take a moment and speak directly to Google:

Thanks Google. You finally gave me the push I needed to pack my bags and leave. I've completely de-googled my life and encourage everyone to do the same. You're an evil company. Anything positive you may have contributed to society has been long eclipsed by the damage you've done in your quest to subjugate the web. In short; good riddance and get fucked.
