Although the OS should not really let you upload anything outside the apps "sand box".

#4  A common feature of lots of tech moron websites is the "stuff I use" recurring post. Tech bloggers loves to talk about them own selves. Here's my list of "stuff I don't use:"

Fartbook
Shittah (said with the Stewaht Vahney shill accent)
Gurgle ecosystem
Crapple ecosystem
Any curated or "verified" news feed

#3  Happily my unlocked Galaxy 8+ let me uninstall fartbook. I only have a Gmail login to access the Play store, otherwise I use Microsoft Launcher, Edge and Outlook mail. Overall it's a fine experience.
