Everybody is different, but my privacy and desire to not use my life as a feed for google AI & ML makes this a very small price to pay to move away.
Couple this with migrating to something self hosted like nextcloud, and I cant see why anyone would possibly pay google $2 per month to be part of their data aggregating empire.
- doubled112 4y agoI'm almost positive my home server (which is a lower end, but newer desktop) costs more than $2 a month. I don't think Nextcloud's photos app would run well on something like a Raspberry Pi either, considering when I tried my photo collection in it, it would consume enough RAM to crash the 8GB VM it was in and give up. While I have time and knowledge to troubleshoot, realize most don't and $2 is less than an XL coffee.
- alt227 4y agoIt is completely subjective and relies heavily on how much you value your privacy. For me, the cost of running a home server is far less than the cost of Google having my entire digital footprint.
