So anyway, lolz, we got photos of you, give us money 🤑💰🤑🤑💰🤑💰💰🤑!
Did you plan to use Shutterfly as a storage service? Kind of a weird specific strategy I admit, but they do need to obviously set some criteria for what makes sense to store indefinitely.
No, we got married a little bit over a decade ago and that's when we got sutterfly booklets with wedding photos for everyone. The rest is history.... they kept our photos for more than 10 years in hope that we would go back and make more copies of the same party...but I mean, we haven't been sexier than the amount of sexiness we had 10 years ago.... I'm not loosing hope. But I do have all the originals and their raw files too.
Like, my answer to come buy some shit because we got your photos would be "why do you have my photos, please delete them"
I see. I got those emails for a while and then decided I didn't want them to have my photos anyway, so I just logged in and deleted them. It took practically no time.
next up: "Great thanks we're gonna sell all your photos unless you pay for a subscription. Gotta keep in business somehow!"
They’ve sent those for years. If it wasn’t automated, I’d admire their dedication.
Fuck shutterfly. They denied a photo of a dog I took because they claimed I didn't get permission from the owner. It was a picture of my dog
Oh I got an email that my Photobucket account was about to get deleted due to inactivity. Huh, forgot I had one, but remember using it as backup storage years ago so what the hell I'll log in and retrieve them and delete the account.
Nope, the free service I signed up for back then, now requires a subscription to use. I would have to pay, to get back my pictures I stored for free. Fuck That Shit.
I've been getting those warning emails for like two years, maybe more. Probably more actually. I just ignore them, my photos still work even if I don't use them anymore.
Photobucket did the same thing I almost lost all of my photos that I had on it from my early teenage years because I almost missed the email(I was two days from the DDay)
Basically they decided that they no longer wanted their free tier and any photos that were stored on the platform as that tier had a certain amount of time before they would be deleted. The platform heavily tried to convince people who are on the free tier that the only way of getting their photos would be to pay for their premium tier for a month and then cancel but I was able to figure out a way to just download it it was hidden heavily in the settings behind multiple paywall triggers.
At least they're honest
To be fair, shutterfly isn't a photo storage platform and it sounds like they don't want to be. The infrastructure to store and serve all of that would be expensive, so "pay up or we're deleting your shit".
Honestly that's kind of nice to hear, since it means they probably aren't selling it.
