I have been publishing content on Google+ for several years, but my trust in Google is diminishing. As a result, I have decided to distance myself from their social network platform, Google+.
The majority of the content I share on Google+ consists of a personal collection of random thoughts and links to articles that I find interesting. While it wouldn’t be a significant loss if Google+ were to shut down one day, I still prefer to disassociate myself from the company before that happens. I would hate to discover one day that I’m locked out of my account, similar to what recently happened to Jordan Peterson and journalists who were writing articles in Google Docs. Incidents like these, along with YouTube demonetization, have eroded my confidence in the company. I fear that one day a Google algorithm might delete all of my content without any warning.
Therefore, after many years, I find myself returning to a WordPress blog as my platform of choice.
