Everyone is doing this shit and you can't opt out.
You can opt out of paying for them. If I ran a business, I'd probably try self hosting before I used slack, but it would probably become very difficult at scale
You can self host the services you need, but admittedly that's not feasible for most people.
it's great. eventually small businesses will need to rely on FOSS solutions because the costs are counter prohibitive on a sliding scale that's heavy towards VC funded companies.
honestly if I was a VC right now, I'd be cozying up to the major PAAS/SAAS vendors and investing with them to drive small businesses to make the choice to get VC or go out of business because it's too costly to compete and operate.
Thankfully I'm not a soulless husk.

I appreciate you having a soul.
