Paying for a newsfeed that provides binaries - just to post or view
a few pics per year ? - not ,

imgur.com
Free, no spam, easy upload from both a computer and a smart phone.
My favorite feature is the availability of a direct link to an image that
can be used in a forum such as this. e.g. My cribbage board project. No ads,
not even a mention of the site. Just the image.
https://i.imgur.com/vooVWFE.jpg
In under a minute, I can snap a picture, upload it, grab the link and paste
it here or in an email or text.
For a series of pictures, I have used Google Photos. You can create a folder,
upload a bunch of pictures and create a link that you can post or send to
someone.
P.S. I grew up in Flushing. I spent more time on USCG Governors Island than
Staten Island, but for a few months I drove to Staten Island every day. I
spent the summer between high school and the Coast Guard delivering bagels
for my buddy who owned a bagel shop in Queens. I once drove 110 MPH on the
Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge. I was running late. ;-)

Take a look at Astraweb.com I switched to them a year or three back and
have just now renewed and purchased a 25GB block of downloads for $10
that is non-expiring. Excellent servers in multiple countries.
Retention as good as anything that I've seen elsewhere. All binary groups.
Not a shill, no "commission" to me for the referral. Just sharing an
excellent feed for dirt cheap.
There are various drop boxes - metalworking Dropbox for example that
files and pictures
are taken in.

I use usenet-news.net, there are others that are similar.
It sells access not by the month, but by blocks of download
data that don't expire. The bigger block you buy, the cheaper
it gets. You can buy
2GB for $2
5GB for $3
10GB for $5
20GB for $8
30GB for $10
50GB for $12
100GB for $15
200GB for $22
500GB for $52
1024 GB for $92.
It has most if not all binary newsgroups, with postings
going back to 2008. If you are an infrequent downloader,
even $5 for 10GB of data might last you for years.

I send Wikipedia some money around this time every year because I
appreciate what they do. If you choose not to show any support

I pay for a Usenet feed, but it does not include a meaningful selection
of binary newsgroups. So don't think that it's only Usenet freeloaders
who have that problem.
My newsgroup source operates in NYC and NYS was very active in getting
binary newsgroups shut off because some of them were being used for
child porn and all of Usenet lacks an effective way to block that sort
of thing shy of blocking all binaries.
Additionally, at the time, the relative cost of operating a newsserver
capable of hosting binaries groups to the cost of operating a
newsserver with just text was rapidly changing. Most of the use of
binaries groups then (mid to late 1990s) measured by disk space was
for copyright violations. The people who want free downloads of music,
porn, and games are very price sensitive. Then Napster came out, and
Gnutella (now Limewire), and then Bittorrent. And most of that traffic
moved off of Usenet anyway.

You could subscribe to a news account at Newsguy.com for about
$60/yr. It comes with a web site, and you can ftp whatever you
want. I think $5/month is cheap if you use it--no ads, no BS.

I see no ads at all. I feel slighted that the Slavic girls are not
interested in me though.
I wonder if it is because I'm logged in that I see it different.

What do you mean "can post with no advertising"? When I go to that
page I see a photo titled "apple upsidedown" and ads for "This is the
most Intriguing Game You'll Play This Year" (twice), "Most beautiful
Slavic girls on the net", "1 trick kills erectile dysfunction"
(twice), "Legal steroid gains muscle mass at any age", "22 discounts

FWIW, I've been using Flickr since 2006 (they tell me). Currently you
can post 1000 free images or you can get unlimited for $50 a year. I
don't see any ads when I browse my photos not signed in on a brower, I
don't know what the apps show.

I've done both, right now I use Amazon. There's nothing
scary about it. And as you're surely aware, Amazon has
a good buyer protection program - which I'm not worried
about here. I get a lot of old music there, like Billie
Holiday, the Big Bands, old Bing tunes, etc.

I use google photos (formerly picasa).
They have desktop and moble apps that make uploading pretty seamless and
their editor is very good (from a layman's standpoint).

These days, pre-paid Visas (AKA "gift cards") remove a lot of the
risks when dealing with services you don't fully trust.
I use giganews.com, though I'm told others are cheaper. (My wants
and needs are pretty specific.) I think they carry any binaries
groups that have not had legal take-down actions related to them.
That is to say that I recall some binaries groups from years back
that were excessively youthful, and they are not in the groups
listing I get.

I have. They are pretty solid to the 3-year they advertise, but
hit and miss before that. Several years back, they announced they
were expanding the retention. I expected things from them foreward
would show up. Maybe some did. The "old DVD" groups seem to be
mostly just 3 years.

I would like to post about 10 - 20 pics per year ..
60 bucks US dollars isn't cheap !
Many of these sites are meant for people who want
to store & organize all their photos -
hundreds and hundreds ... 60 bucks works for them.

Thanks for the tip. I thought of signing up with a similar service
a few years ago, but the online payment procedure was a bit
scary - as is this one -
Q: Which payment options do you offer to buy quota Blocks?
A: The current options are to buy blocks using a Credit Card, (via the
Stripe.com system) or via Amazon
... huh ?
