Most of the time it's just a hobby and I enjoy the challenge of solving a "problem" we have at home.

But for payment related stuff, I prefer having control over my own data. Granted I upload encrypted backups to a Google Drive via duplicati for important data - so technically Google still holds my data. But they aren't the ones in control and I have local backups too.

Of course, I don't back up terabytes of media. I'm considering backing up my own rips, harder to find stuff as well as my music (some, I don't even remember where I got it, because it's been on external drives for well over a decade).
