Google photos is one of the worst among the lot.
It is Apple of photo apps. Very little user control. No way to manually tag stuff or name stuff. The only reason I use it is for the free storage.
The design philosophy treats users as dumbfuks.
I'm looking to move everything out.
Chill everyone. Ammon didn't mean to betray anyone's trust. He just executed public profiles feature very poorly and compared them to profiles on anonymous platforms which was naive.

+Continue keeping it an opt-out feature. But give a long lead time. A month or two. Regular emails warning that profile will go public and a personalized screenshot of what exactly would be included.
+If users want to approve the public profile, they will stop receiving these emails. They should also be able to choose who to show in their profiles.
+If users forget to approve or deny, make an extremely minimalist profile public with only initials of the name listed.
