And here’s the reason why layman should not: they’re much more likely to make that one wrong move and suffer irrecoverable data loss than some faceless corporation selling their data.

At the end of the day, those of us who are technical enough will take the risk and learn, but for vast majority of the people, it is and will continue to remain as a non starter for the foreseeable future.

Not to mention, few people have the time, skill, money, and energy to do it. They’re happy to outsource in exchange for money and/or data.

The “layman” should fall back to old ways. Think local photo management with maybe some backup software

So just because they don’t know technology like you do, they should be left behind the times instead of taking advantage of advancements? A bit elitist and gate keeping there, don’t you think?

Everyone have their own choices to make, and for most, they’ve already decided they’d rather benefit from advancements than care about what you care about.

I don’t disagree, but you just have to be aware that you can fuck shit up. And if you do, that’s not my problem, or anybody elses at the end of the day.
