Noice!
This is the first thing I see when logging into Lemmy, made me pause for a second or two.

That’s part of my issue. I’m a former content creator and still want to keep the videos from those years up and available. I don’t really use subscriptions or anything though so I can browse without an account.
I closed out 2 google accounts entirely this month, and just about finishing migrating various accounts to use my new tuta email. I’m still keeping my last 2 accounts up just in case (I’ve had cases where very important emails sent from tuta were getting filtered by the recipient, but gmail seemed fine). But on those two accounts, I’ve totally purged all existing emails, emptied Drive, etc. I’m also on Fi as it’s basically the only remotely affordable mobile plan around here. So I’m about as distanced as I can get at this point, but not entirely off yet.
Congrats!
The only thing that’s stopping me from doing the same are:
I did move on from Youtube however, by moving my subscriptions to an RSS feed and storing my “watch later” links using Linkding (a bookmark manager). I sort of alluded to this in a recent comment: sh.itjust.works/comment/19041626
Congrats OP! That’s really something!
For those of you still on the journey, know that you can quit individual google services. For example you can quit Gmail, but keep Youtube etc. This would also allow you to keep play store.
What country are you in, and what type of phone/OS did you use?
Also, congrats!
