Deleted my google account about 10 years ago. No "experiences" to speak of, you just have to go in knowing that you'll lose online access to everything Google: mail, calendar, youtube, etc. But that's what Google Takeout is for.
As for your last question: No, I don't. Lack of trust is why is wiped my Google account in the first place.
I wish I would have been a quicker learner like you.
Nah, I'm no quick learner. In fact, it took Google screwing up multiple times before I decided to delete my account. I was just less tolerant to their mistakes than most people, I suppose.
