Most people are not technology savvy let alone HN elitists. When I talk to non tech people about stuff like this I get a lot of blank stares. Whenever I’ve said if the service is free then your are the product I get even blanker stares.
Most normal people wouldn’t consider using Google Drive as being careless with there data. They would actually considering it being smart as Google is one of the largest tech companies.
Put yourself in someone else’s shoes for a minute. People who have these kids of hobbies do it because it’s their passion and a lot of times, the best ones at least, don’t have a lot of disposable income to spend on said hobby.
