Yup, a few years ago I got tired of ADC demanding money from me to view near relatives uploaded images. So I started a FB group for the entire family tree, 'Muckedon' Co Westmeath Ireland
In it I created topics, with galleries of images, for each branch discovered through Records, Family History and DNA.
There is NO money charged to join a FB Group, nor to view our collection of images, photos, birth, death, marriage certificate images etc.
When Schwartzmann took over ADC the site began really nasty stuff like blocking me from MY OWN images! So I removed all of them from ADC. However one contact who is on ADC but does not want to share trees etc, and did need some of my images, so today I put the bare essentials back into my tree.
This solution is not for everyone, but it will take a few million out of Schwarzmann's pockets. That is pay back for being such a greedy nasty fellow. BTW FB has EXCELLENT s/w for managing your efforts.
Need to add to this point, it costs exactly ZERO anywhere in the world to have a Facebook account, and to create your family history group there. I have ALL my relatives who WERE on ADC now on Facebook. None of those needs Ancestry.com as a result, saving them gobs of money.
