I see the Astrobin owner has released a ‘statement’ on what happened.
Am I right in saying at a very basic level that he pressed delete on nearly 5 terabyte of subscribers pictures because he didn’t know what he was doing???
The term ‘you had one job’ comes to mind.........
Sorry, but if this guy is collecting money to store people’s images then not understanding how the system works is inexcusable in my opinion. Yep, I agree we should all have backup copies of our images but that’s not the point.......he was being paid to provide a service and my expectation is that he would have the knowledge and skills to provide that service on a professional level.
If I pay a mechanic to change my oil I expect them to have the right tools (in the Astrobin case that means hardware), use the right oil (in Astrobin case that means right backup systems) and have the skills to carry out the work (in Astrobin case knowledge of what changing settings will do).
I like Astrobin and will keep using it but not too sure about taking out a new paid membership to provide someone a living for something it appears they are not qualified to do.
Disappointing for the owner and I feel for him.......but in reality if he had followed his own advice posted on the website (Astrobin encourages you to have have backups of all images posted) then there wouldn’t have been an issue.
.......simply saying “I didn’t understand what I signed on for with my amazon agreement’ doesn’t cut it in my opinion.
