For some reason I found this article hilarious.

  - Google ends unlimited Google Photos storage for new photos
  - User is apoplectic that hitting free storage limit may affect email
  - $2/month is an affront to user's anti-subscription sensibilities
  - User migrates photos off of Google Photos
  - User realizes 90%+ of his photos were a waste of space

It may very well be because I'm seeing myself in this. I just migrated a lifetime of email from Google Workspace to iCloud Mail when Google threatened my free legacy plan. It worked great, but I'm sure 95%+ of those emails are a waste of space.
