Google was in the news not long ago. They have decided to end a very popular free service: Google Photos free unlimited storage.

It might not impact you right away, especially if you are a happy owner of a Google Pixel phone, but if you do, you are in many ways already many steps ahead of the wave that is coming. Google is doing this as a part of a master plan. A plan that all the GAFAM are following. Actually, It is not a plan, it is a war and you are at the center of it.

We need to understand it, as we are going to benefit from this war, but many of us will also lose big. To understand it when it is not too late will help us navigate the few upcoming years and put in place a strategy to preserve our interests.

We are all consumers and the strategy of the GAFAM has already started to impact us on a daily basis. The Google Photos bait has only been the tip of the iceberg. Fundamentally, they are just asking for a few dollars but this is how they ask you to choose a side in a war that is not yours. Let’s discuss it in much more details, check the article below!
