Personally I don't see the value in deleting accounts. I just don't use a service if I don't want to. I have not used Facebook for many many many years. It doesn't matter if my account is active or not. Why do I care? If my account is alive, they have to let it take up some of their storage, sucks for them.

Twitter has been my main source of news. For the news I care about it has been more reliable than main stream media. But I do understand why some people want to stopping using it.

Google is really hard because of YouTube, which is my main source of passive entertainment.

Venmo is surprising to me---how do people use Venmo? Are they using it as social network somehow? I just open it when I need to pay someone, and close it when I finish, like using a wallet. Why are people bothered by it?
