"they" is always a person, usually paying for it from their own pocket. Maybe better stay on Google Photos with that kind of consumerist attitude?

Yeah, if you're not paying for it yourself you may succeed at some form of obfuscation for privacy reasons but it's ultimately a failure of principle. If you want something put in the effort and/or the cost required. Doing that supports the good people that make the world go 'round and keeps you from being a product.

If I had the money, I'd host all my stuff.
But I don't.
