You are a pilot?

How many photographers do you know who are also pilots? Or how many pilots do you know that are photographers?

I use that! It's pretty cool. I didn't mind the one time payment of $25.

finally leaving Google Photos

What do you recommend for a photo hosting site? At the current time, I can't really self host a photo album and I'm tired of emailing pictures to my family. I'd rather have something like google photos, where I can share a link to an album and they can see the pictures.

I know there's flickr, but i don't know if you can make albums sharable via link, without the need to have a flickr account.

For backup, I think I'll use my backblaze account. I've had a backblaze account for years and mainly use it to backup my ebooks.

What's the price a month?

Have you considered backblaze for your photo backup?

That's great!
He has cool videos and while he do talk a lot about gear, he's not a fanboy of anything in particular.

He does talk about gear, but how to use the gear and how to use inexpensive things to do a job.
For instance, instead of buying stand bags, he said get grocery bags and fill them with rocks and tie it to your lightstand.

He claims to shoot in 8 bit jpg - not raw.

How much does it typically cost? I see it is $5 today.

Pick up rechargeable led light from Amazon. Use it to illuminate your subject when in low light. One that does multiple colors is fun for some interesting creative shots.

Do you have an example product you can link to, and any photos you've taken when using one of these lights before?
