today was the free-but-unlimited account cutoff day.

looking at the per-photo .json file it does appear to contain all comments (including some from you!) all the exif stuff. everything you'd see on the webpage bascially.

$0.023 per GB per month for raw aws s3 storage. $2 a month for 80GB.

($0.024 if you want it in london)

I do quite like the stats, even if they're a dubious measure of engagement (e.g. I put a photo in a heavy-traffic public group, it gets a "view" for everyone who visits the group while the photo is amongst the most recent pageful - bingo, 200 "views" in a day though likely only 2-3 people have really clicked on it - not how it used to work) and is subject to distortion by various web-crawling bots (the suspicious exactly-100 views that each recent page in my stream gets occasionally) and the referrals are mostly anonymous. I have a feeling 500px does this a bit better, but that's chiefly the domain of flawlessly-lit Russian "glamour" photography and it gets a bit samey.

I think I'm Flickr for life. Until SmugMug go bust and it all vanishes.

xp - it's not just about the storage (if I wanted to cloud-store my all-time catalog, it's going to be around 3.5TB)

I've scheduled a date to do a mass migration to HD and cull the herd down to sub-1000.
