Fuck amazon.
This is how they put the hooks in every other “service” they offer. My prediction is next year or two it’ll be twice the price of whatever other web storage you’re currently using.

I'm pretty much fuck all big tech and no doubt you have to check your subscriptions to make sure there aren't any additional charges creeping in, but instead of paying someone else to do the same it's worth taking advantage of it while it's included

Anything given for "free" can be later taken away or reduced to almost unusable with a paid "premium" option. So you are essentially forced to pay in order to continue the service you have come to depend on.
An alternative form of payment is being subjected to data mining and classification, with tracking all over the Internet. The metadata in your photos is a no-brainer and the content of many photos can be identified with a bit of image processing. This information is sold to others or used to promote products to you.
I am using Google Photos, but it has its weaknesses, and Google does not really hide that every interaction with its services may result in something shared with it's thousands of business partners since that is it's primary business.

I had no idea. We pay for all kinds of crap and I have no idea what half of it is or does.
