Pay Google for privilege to have your data harvested? No thanks, I left Google Photos years ago when I could understand they provided something "for free" in exchange for your data, but even pay them for this? What a joke. I am sure there will pop up companies happy to harvest your data for free. Personally I just do multiple physical backups, it ain't so convenient, but I have control over my data. Btw. there is Yandex Disk for people who don't wanna pay for OneDrive or Amazon Photos. For cold storage is maybe cheapest Backblaze.
