My God Michael, dont try to inwent wheel once again. Why You try complicate
everything ?
Yes You can post Your media on site X, I can post media on site Y, Greg can
use Z cloud and post links to them
At the end it will be like we need to go somewhere, ofcourse login to our
accounts, accept cookies, experience different layont, web page design etc.

On FB its all in one, it work good, it work on every platform and device,
its for free, fast and never dies.
And I completly DONT GIVE A SHIT who own it, what he belives, what he is
doing or if he is black or white as long as he dont say that meteorites are
illegal on his site. Its a tool like anything else.

There is one big limit. Chinese cant use it becouse its banned in china. But
its not banned in Morocco or Lybia
Can You imagine that I speak with guys from algeria or lybia, they share
photos beying in the same moment in the desert ?
I can speak with like 50 morocans in real-time asking for new pieces, they
ask me for my opinion about their specimens, we chat like good friends even
that I have no idea how they looks like. This is power!! The peoples.

Here You sit with 100 peoples, read one post a day and You are arguing that
its the best medium in the world.
Yes it was, 10 years ago. Your chice, I respect, but the best days are gone.
You cant disagree with that
