Photos and Videos - YouTube? Instagram? #111

I go back and forth on this one.

Given that you can already store photos and videos on BINK!, I should probably go ahead and reimplement these. Thing is, though, there are much better photo AND video hosting systems out there. Think Google Photos or Instagram for photos, and of course YouTube for videos... It would probably take some serious time to integrate with either of those services, but it makes a lot more sense to use their free storage for these media items than it does audio.

Most (90%) of the time, I just want to post a recording I made with some friends, and I've not taken pictures OR video of it. Also if there are pictures and video, I often want to make them available on socially-used sharing sites anyway (yt, insta)... I doubt many ppl will come visit BINK (even the new snazzy version) for looking at videos/pictures.

MAYBE it's just: here's a link where you can go look at the pictures/videos of this jam. Would be super simple to implement and then it allows for the data recording of, hey, this was associated with this audio... and people would get to see them.
