  The Internet is not your friend, and megacorps in particular are only only pretending to be your friend because they think they can make money doing it.

  It's a lot of images, but I suspect you could host them with just a few terabytes of hosting, and then you don't need to worry about if some megacorp decides you need to be disappeared. If Archive.org ironically didn't have archives of the photos, that's even worse.

    Yeah. Laughable, but kinda sad, especially considering how many videos they archive.
