    Appreciate the concept of "scale."

    This is a way to compromise Wordpress.

    The attack surface is not a small one, as your narrative would suggest.

    Using Wordpress sites to do anything devious is a crazy idea. It offers no masking as to whom is modifying it, right? So, the risk/reward is simply not there, for any reason.

    It's a nice honeypot.

    That's about all Wordpress is good for.

    Your shitty answer is useless as tits on a boar hog.

    It doesn't answer the question as to why in Sam Hill you'd want Wordpress access to do that stuff.

    You're suggesting hacking one of the weakest interfaces on the planet that ALSO rats out your activity.

    You're not making one single goddam penny.

    The risk/reward is whack.

    Your last line, which you bolded so everyone else but me can see it clearly (because you know> I don't give a shit) clearly demonstrates your need to compensate for inability to provide a valid answer.

    Enjoy your swell parting gifts.

    Yeah, I asked why, and your idea is like the others: Useless.

    You aren't a spammer so what's the point? Also, you WILL get caught if you go big enough.

    Your idea is not a money-maker, but thanks for playing.

    Most nasty jpegs and binaries live on local hard drives as demonstrated by all the guys we've read about who got busted for child porn.

    Only a noobie would hijack a Wordpress simply to get free cloud hosting where tracing access back to the point of origin is a piece of cake.

    Why in Sam Hill would you store jpegs and binaries in the cloud?

    Go p2p.
