In May, Google made international headlines when it announced that it was going to offer free, unlimited storage for photos and videos. If you read Google's press release, you'll see that the free storage plan limits images to 16 megapixels and videos to 1080p resolution. But if digital images are simply collections of binary data and if all other files on your computer also just collections of binary data then isn't unlimited photo storage simply unlimited storage?
If only something existed that made this easy to do; you know, something that could bitmap all the things....

Do you enjoy seeing your jizz all over the front page of Soylent, you attention-whoring asshole? Oh look at you, now the whole fucking world knows you have friends at Google. How very nice for you! Do your friends have anal privileges? Do you just love it when a dude reams your asshole until his manly cum squirts inside your bowels?
Haters gonna hate, you're right about that. But consider why we fucking hate you.
1) Your project literally enables the Tragedy of the Commons.
2) Your project has no practical value to anyone.
3) You love attention so very very very much.
Next time you feel like you deserve to have the world acknowledge your pitiful existence, go fucking tweet something, you worthless twit.
