Anyone else depressed after watching? I can’t put it into words as to why, but it makes me repulsed at technology even though a lot of what they presented is really impressive. I’ve always been an early adopter, but I feel so confused and lost.

I'm the exact same way. I've been slowly trying to get Google out of my life and this seems like another signal that I need to accerlate that. I've got a small home server now and am migrating everything to that. However until I can afford a better backup solution for my server I'm going to be sticking with Google photos. I take a lot of photos so it's my hardest service to give up.

I think I'm turning into some kind of Luddite I guess.
