    Virtual assistants, e.g. Alexa, Cortana, Siri

    I don't want to interact with the companies they represent basically at all, let alone give them nearly unfettered access to my electronics and their data.

    Most social media.

    I used to use reddit, I have moved all my presence over here. That's about it.
    I have a FB Messenger account because that is how a lot of my family keeps in touch with me, and I have this. I had a proper FB account back when I was in uni and Facebook was still only for uni students, but I think I dropped it shortly after that.

    It's not some grand principled stance, I just don't get most of them because I am apparently an old man. Like Instagram, why do I want to share pictures with just random people? How am I networking with anybody by doing so? I honestly don't get why it is so popular.

    "The cloud".

    In the end "the cloud" is just someone else's hard drive. Call me old fashioned, but I'll keep my data on my own hard drives.
