Links

In my opinion we should be setting up discographies or general posts using Mega links rather than Zippy or Mediafire. Go to any discography that doesn't have Mega links and you'll find a whole gang of re-up requests due to dead links and a majority of the time those dead discography links don't get re-upped. That's because Zippy and Mediafire links expire with the quickness, especially if they haven't been downloaded in a month or so. I have discographies that I started over 4 years ago and the links have never expired because they are all Mega links. Why keep re-upping links and performing maintenance on posts/discogs when you can create one download link one time that will not expire?
My main question is why do other uploaders prefer Zippy and/or Mediafire over Mega? Mega links don't expire and I don't see why we don't all just use Mega. I understand you only get 50gb of storage space with the free Mega account but it only costs $60 a year to upgrade the storage space amount, which is worth it if we want this site/database/archive to still be useful in the long run. I don't even mind paying for a Mega account for the site that all trusted uploaders can use so that we can have links that don't expire. Let me know what you guys think.
