I wish this were more implausible, but at this point I'm getting worried.

Seriously. Fewer and fewer people are using Google as a search engine anyways. I know it's miniscule, but people are aware of Duck Duck go, and aware of Google's spy apparatus, hence why in any survey or poll they conduct they ask the user's opinion on how well they think Google is doing with their private data. I always score them the lowest possible.

What we should be concerned with is how many websites and third party logins use Google.

Youtube is basically their entertainment brand. So that really doesn't make sense.

People are just resistant to change because the GPM to YTM transition sucked when they released a half baked app

Yeah I guess so. YTM sucked ass when it came out. But now I would say it's better than Spotify.
