iCloud backup – 5GB available, but I can't use it

Whoever is the product manager that decided to block partial photo uploads to iCloud because the photo library exceeds the space available online, I hope you lose all your family photos one day. I hope it's because another product manager decided this for you, and you have no recourse, and I hope that they are gone forever.

I know Apple Corporation is not a startup, but I know the employees browse this website. Basically everyone is doing a very bad job lately.

I'm going to go buy a flash drive so that I don't need to install garbage apple software to my computer in addition to the garbage apple software on my phone.

Thank you for reading.
