It is not hypocrisy if you raise your voice. If you tell why you are not happy and explain that you comply only forced.

If we were more to simply raise our voices, I’m sure things would be different. Nobody could ever use the excuse "I didn’t know"

I understand this feeling. Everything my workplace does is in Google. I only use my work account for work, but still. Ew.

Perhaps another way to look at it is: We're not hypocrites, because this is not our fault. It's the fault of these services for proprietary-izing *our own data* to the extent that we have no *choice* but to play the game on their platforms.

That doesn't make it better, but it might at least alleviate some guilt and put the responsibility back where it belongs.

Ouch, yeah I know a similar feeling I think. Big rip, as my young friends would say. Next round's on me.
