Things i have stopped using- X, Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, Coca Cola, Pepsi, Lays, McDonalds, Burger King, Netflix, Walmart. Things where i have minimized consumption - Amazon, Best Buy, Steam, YouTube. Things where I am tied in and can't make a difference- Android, Windows, AWS, Gmail, Intel/AMD, MS Office (official productivity tools). Actually i don't mind going minimalistic to F over US companies.
I haven't gone that far, but I refuse to use Facebook, or Amazon.
Facebook, because it's a shithole of ignorance, stupidity, and cruelty, and it brainwashes older people.
Amazon, because they hurt local Mom and Pop businesses, and I don't like the way they treat the warehouse workers.
i use gmail but i use thunderbird to check it . working on a new address. if your using Windows consider running something like OOshutup10+ to stop M$ spying. we use LibreOffice at work except the one office lady can't use anything but excel . Linux on my home pc's , wish we could at work.. Good job on the stopping , i'm currently doing the same. F the US.
switch to linux
I agree with all the Linux comments but another thing you could do is use FOSS self-hostable front-ends to those proprietary services like invidious and newpipe (android) for youtube, redlib for reddit, nitter for twitter etc. You don't have to host them yourself, there's already plenty of people hosting their own instances.
Aside from removing ads which you can already do with an adblocker (which takes 1 revenue stream away from them) it lets you browse privately without any data collection which would be sold to advertisers (taking away their 2nd revenue stream).
About the Android, he can replace it with GrapheneOS if he got almost any Pixel device
But then you're buying the phone from google, which is not great if you're trying to boycott google.
Just build your own open source versions of all that and you'll be fine
