Yes. Tech billionaires are the ones who stood behind Trump proudly on inauguration day, so let's start using Canadian/European options. Plenty of them match what those tech companies offer anyway.
I believe this is how we can cripple the US.
I just switched my services over and there are some great alternatives, we have just been pre-programmed to use the American default brands.
Adobe, Microsoft, Apple, Google, Amazon all easy to replace.
The only challenging one so far is YouTube, content is just lacking elsewhere, but atleast with adblockers YouTube isn't getting my money.
Anyone who can should backup their favorite channels with yt-dlp while you can. Don't forget to embed the subtitles and metadata. I intend to put up torrents soon and others should as well. If you wish to support the original channel put document with links to patreon or whatever that creator uses.
