I think we should just outright reject the notion that user lockin is something startups (or any company) has a right to. I don't think it's really good for consumers when companies become 'platforms' that you can't leave. Well functioning markets allow users to easily switch between services. Also: >startups that want to compete and find that users can now build up collections of photos and videos at their expense If users using your service is 'at your expense' and not 'for your profit' then that seems to be mostly a problem with the company's business model.
