 I bought a cheap Android tablet the other day. It wouldn't allow me to sign into Google Play with my gmail account unless I pay $1.99 ransom for storage every month.

Then it occured to me, I don't need google.

All of the apps I need are on zapstore, obtanium, or aurora.

So I don't need to pay $1.99 to Google every month.

I know it's only two bucks a month.

I just don't want to support surveillance capitalism.
