This was before ‘the cloud’ replaced your local hard drive operating system software. The good common sense you were raised with told you that it cannot be possible that ’the cloud’ is a good idea. It cannot be safer, or faster and seemingly has no benefits to the end user whatsoever. Then all of the sudden your phone number was required to ‘verify’ all of your accounts.

The content you created.
Google AI search replicates your original content and uses it to steer traffic to google sponsored ads.
