I think the bots and scammers would pose a much bigger problem

Easy solution: date the bots and scammers!

I think those could be dealt with, but just the sheer bandwidth of someone loading 3-10 images per profile and then rapidly flicking through them and onto the next one...

The storage costs would be one thing, but the bandwidth of that would be another entirely.

As much as I'd like to think that people would donate, I've found the majority of people to be pretty cheap and unwilling to donate money for something they can get for free.
