The answer to that question is that the force of gravity on earth is greater than the “force” that accelerates you away from tangential velocity that would be expected due to the rotation of the earth. To put that in easier terms to understand: we don’t feel as if we are falling off the earth because gravity keeps us here. Without gravity, we would “fall off” the earth as well.
