Please help me understand.

I'm like, 49% moron.

Despite my moronicity all of my photos are on my hard drive, all of my emails are on my own hard drive, and all of my contacts and documents are on my own hard drive.

Not only are they all on my own hard drive, they are on my hard drive AND on a NAS-- oh AND the NAS copies all of my important stuff and throws it into the cloud (which I pay for).

So if Google (I don't use any Google products other than YouTube and search) deleted my account I would lose a grand total of 0 bytes of data.

If I'm 49% moron and I realized over a decade ago that relying on Google to store your valuable data (I think it was the "for free" part that made me suspicious) was a bad idea how is it happening to all of these people who I presume are <49% moron?
