Google has features that I can’t live without. Like Photos can add photos to an album based on face recognition - I have an album for my mother where my kids’ photos get added so she can keep up with what’s happening even though she lives far away from us. She posts comments that we read to the kids so they feel grandma is at least a bit involved in their lives. What’s also important is that it’s easy enough for her to use, she’s not very good with tech at 77. So, as much as I would love to get away from Google’s ecosystem, it’d be very difficult for me to give up this feature.

StackOverflow points are actually useful, you can post your profile in your resume, it’s a talking point for an interview. Reddit karma is just an epeen measuring contest.

I need my caffeine, but loathe the taste of coffee. So I drink tons of coke. If I drank the sugar variation, my size would be measured in football field units. With diet, I at least am not morbidly obese.
