Yes they do. People who value the curation of their photos will take the time to do it. I create an album for any event etc. which I expect I'll want to photograph. It's easier to share and re-share the same set of photos, and it acts like a log of cool stuff.

Also, I don't have to scroll through months of memes to get to that one good photo I took in July 2017... or was it August..... maybe it was 2016......... shit.

Sounds like only something people who aren’t stressed from their underpaid jobs can do? Most people are kept busy and don’t have time to fit into this dark (corporate app) pattern.

If you're underpaid you should probably ask yourself if you need an expensive smartphone...

Plenty of people use photography as an escape from their work stress. I just don't understand what your point is.

The argument is that many corporate apps upload things without the user's consent or prior knowledge (revealed here by iOS 14 [1]).

Your post was in my eyes saying this issue was up to individual users to tackle. I disagree with that. I think it is instead the governments' role to regulate and reel in predatory and parasitic corporations.
