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.

You receive a message notification on WhatsApp, which was sent by your friend using her Signal messaging app

yeah Signal has already said they don't have plans to do that.
