That and the fact consumers still support his businesses. In a lot of cases, they don't even know it. Chances are your cloud storage runs on AWS.

The problem is it's so damn expensive. How can a business do this sustainably while keeping subscription costs fair?

YES! The same goes for cloud storage and any other SaaS. We can all benefit from both privacy and financial standpoints by boycotting their entire product catalog.

My thoughts every time I'm told I need to upgrade my cloud storage subscription.

That's politics for you.

How I feel hearing Sync.com will get Linux compatibility this year...

Define 'normal'.

Get an unlimited plan! I subscribed to Sync and have zero regrets.

Google storage is the perfect example of a product that's only mainstream because of its name recognition. The company itself doesn't give two craps about users and is purely driven by profit.

'Thank you for paying us to take your data'.

But have you used actual Sync? As in Sync.com?

Don't trust AWS. I like Sync because it's a happy medium between independent, private storage and convenience.

Not every platform. I use Sync, which is completely void of influence from Big Tech.

Everything is a subscription nowadays. I wouldn't be surprised if Google started charging for searches.

Yeah, but every device has its limits. I'd rather pay for unlimited cloud storage from a scalable and predictable provider like Sync.

Why I support the NDP!

Not to mention multiple other social, economic, and political events of significance in the 1930s and 1940s...

I fear most people don't see it. Even those who do aren't doing anything.

If 'refreshing' was a photo:

Hopefully this sets a precedence for more giants to fall.

The answer is easy. It's because initiatives like these don't serve U.S. special interests.

It's old news and unfortunately wishful thinking. This guy has proven he can get away with virtually anything. An unbelievable phenomena.

Spot on. This pretty much applies to the average property owner.

Smart. You're probably saving a fortune on interest, too.

Right! Isn't that the goal?

But is that really a practical arrangement for the average consumer? Non-mainstream providers like Sync are secure and much more ethical by standard.

Yes! End-to-end encryption should be standard nowadays.

Google will eventually start charging you for cloud storage, too. Just go with a non-mainstream provider without the same special interests.

Just ditch the Google ecosystem altogether. You wouldn't believe what goes on in their backend operations.

It would if we could hear it...
