I am still deciding whether to spring for Flickr Pro as well. On my to-do list for holiday break is “see if Google has free photo storage and then decide if I’m willing to break down and finally get a Google account.”

So I went and looked at my Google account.

Upshot as per feedback on DW is that the Google Photos hosted image is visible to… some people but not all. I am wondering what the difference is– perhaps it’s only visible to people with Google accounts who are logged-in in that browser? Perhaps it’s the above who are people who I have previously emailed??

At any rate, you can hotlink to Google Photos images but it won’t reliably work and you can’t troubleshoot it.

So i’m going to go ahead and buy Flickr Pro sometime in January if nobody buys it for me (it’s on a gift list I gave to family, too, I’m not *just* hoping an Internet Fairy stops by), because it does seem like the best option and I’ve got a lot of shit up there now anyway.

(The new limit for free users will be 1000 photos or videos, so it’s doable if you just need something to hold your memes; I need more than that, so.)

you know what? I Literally Cannot Face trying to organize my photographs enough to be sure that I’ve got offline copies of everything I have up on my Flickr account by January, when they’re going to start deleting free users’ shit, so while I deplore them corporately, I am going to probably buy myself a membership there. (This is my Flickr. Behold my Flickr.)

And, in the meantime. I’m going to upload the four or five years of photographs that have been just sitting on my hard drive not doing much of anything except maybe once in a while getting put up on Facebook.

You know what??? I deplore Facebook more than I deplore Flickr. I’m not going to give Facebook any more content to serve their ads over and conduct their misinformation campaigns under etcetera. So. Flickr it is.

Stay tuned: i’ve just started uploading the photos from the trip I took to Norway for my cousin’s wedding in 2015.

I’ll put Kyrgyzstan up there later.

(If anybody has been wishing I had a ko-fi or whatever these last few years, I don’t, but Flickr has a “gift pro” option and it’s $34.95 with the current discounts. It’s OK, I’m not really asking anyone, and there are far needier people than I this holiday season, but I would be delighted.)
