Kinda creepy. I was about to migrate to Immich, fortunately I’m not in the US, so I don’t get that update yet. It does seem like a lost battle, anyway :( Even if I migrate to a privacy-respecting FOSS solution, my friends, family, acquaintances and random people around me will not (well, some may). I will still be featured in their photos out of my control.
The thought of having to transfer gigabytes worth of photos and videos is legitimately daunting. That’s enough to stop most daily users, and Google is banking on that.
