At this point I don't think I should have degoogled my life, I should have just gotten Google to pay me to continue to use their products. Given the what they're paying everyone else, I must be worth at least a few hundred dollars a year.

You can get Google to pay you through Play Rewards!
You are, but you're not getting it.
Probs get down votes, but look up data latte, you can put your data on the blockchain (anonymized) and get paid if somebody buys it, eg for market research.
Which essentially is what Google does. Sells your data to the market

It's an idea to play with... I dont think the specifics are all ironed out, but maybe with more building and more ideas would we control our data and earn from it like the corporations do.
Participate in surveys that actually matter.
Seems like yet another survey rewards site except maybe with blockchain and dollars
You can download your Spotify data for example and get rewarded for it.
Hmm, where would you sell it to?

Data latte. Sorry I mistyped earlier.
Hmm interesting, it seems blockchain is everywhere. Thanks for the info!
Sorry pal, you're product, not customer.
That does explain why they dropped Bixby.
How did this post get nearly 200 upvotes but fewer comments, then an average post with 75-100 upvotes I mean I get this this news is shocking because it's Samsung not apple, so it is a new leak regarding Gogole, but sheesh a lot of things this week was just about as 'shocking'
The numbers are impressive, so i'm not necesarilly complaining, but those numbers caught my eye. congratulations op
Many people vote but may not have much to say about the topic or that someone has already said what they're thinking.
One thing to note, Lg has their own app store, they would bundle it on smartphones along with the playstore. I remember having a phone from them that did the bundling. Now I use Blu phones.
