I degoogled in 2018. Not much would change for me.
I followed you in 2019 and did the same thing. So it would not affect me very much either.
I followed in 2021. What remains is that I use YouTube quite a lot (even though it's through piped or yt-dlp).
Same here with newpipe
RSS subscribing directly to YT channels through a self-hosted RSS aggregator to sync views, open in on-device front-end. Very practical.
This is exactly what I do. I subscribe to the YouTube channels via RSS in my local RSS reader and have it set to display notifications so that I still see video updates and then use newpipe to open them.
Only thing I use Google for is Maps, and by now that would be easy to replace.
