There's this nice config option that you enabled that stores originals in iCloud, and removes them from your device to save storage space. I think it is called something like 'Optimize Storage'.

So, you enable an option to not eat up all your storage and have the originals stored in iCloud, iCloud gets a new TOS, and you complain your originals are 'held hostage'? riiiiiight. I mean, it's doing what you told it to do.

This is an embarrassing take. You put money in the bank to save the trouble of keeping it under your mattress, now you go to a branch and they say you need to sign a new contract before you can take back your money. Fair?

accepting the update TOS is not the same as signing a new contract. But yeah, a lot of stuff is constantly blocked behind: accept the new terms before continuing.
