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.

Any recommendations? It seems a lot of my alternatives are turning heel and I would like more options. Preferably ones not likely to turn heel.
