I'm not whom you're asking for but I'm obligated to say:
With many of these products, you are the product being sold. I especially don't understand the point about going back w/ alternatives, eg gmail is just an email service; nothing changes for you as the end user if you just use a different email provider. Same for Photos, it's just a cloud hosting service. I only ever used it for syncing so I could replace it with syncthing, although I don't because I don't really care about accessing my photos on multiple devices. If I need a specific photo I'll grab it via usb cable or if I'm getting a new phone I'll copy over all the photos etc to my computer before wiping the phone. But if you need to sync you can just use syncthing, if you specifically need cloud hosting there are more privacy-respecting options out there that aren't by ad companies.
