Thanks for the follow, and thank you for the clarification.
It would be ironic for decentralization-oriented and security-docused people on Hive blockchain to be using services such as GMail. Using Google and YouTube are bad enough.

True. I know most hive'ers are purists which does make sense. The blockchain may not have every solution however. Like the 3speak. I honestly have had big struggles there for example.
In the end, we have to use whatever platforms work in our favor with minimal grief. If it means Twitter or YouTube, then so be it.
I'm just saying we should stick with the Hive ecosystem of dApps as much as we can. Part of that is because the solution may be in there and it can solve our problems. Part of that is to support our fellow Hivers and/or business owners for whom Hive is their business.
If the solution doesn't exist in the Hive ecosystem (or if the solution which Hive has is "inadequate"), then we go to the Web3 circle of dApps to find a solution we can use. If Web3 doesn't have what we're looking for (or if it sucks also), then we go back to Web2 and Big Tech.
Searching is something we should be able to do easily on Hive, but it's not what it should be. Hive offers a searching solution, but it's not what it can be. For this reason I use the Web3 search engine Presearch. It uses Google-style search functionality while rewarding searchers with its PRE token (an ERC20). For SEO reasons I would use Google to see how a post is doing. For any other reason I begin with Presearch.
