People don't know. Researching good image backup/sharing options is beyond most normies. Privacy invasion isn't even a known problem for them to care about.
My parents certainly won't be able to comprehend this. My brothers are tech savvy, and it's taken years for them to come onboard with self hosting since I've started advocating it (one still can't because his wife finds it difficult to move away from Google photos).
What other option is there for automatic backups, image editing and touchups, and index and searching for photos?
This is a dupe from above btw. I just added this in an edit for clarity. I'm asking the same question of both.
Immich and Gimp. There are tons of alternatives but people don't bother, expecting something at least as good and as "cheap". That's a losing mindset.
We have to use and contribute, paying or not, to actual alternatives even though they are not 100% equivalent otherwise incumbent keep on imposing their rules.
Stopped reading at gimp. GTFO 🤣
Just clueless nerds everywhere expecting people wanting to deal with editing hundreds of photos. Get a clue.
Blocked. I don't need this kind of low quality interactions, even less while genuinely trying to help others.
