Well, this is an incredibly difficult market to compete in. You need something really special to stand out and attract users, or devs won't bother with your service. Other sites like Imgur already have the mindshare and you need to somehow get huge and find an effective monetization strategy to pull it off. Big image hosting sites are expensive and you won't be able to turn a profit for a long time, and if you're paying for it out of pocket it's going to go south pretty quick. Especially if you don't pay for the high end infrastructure, your site will get slow as the load piles on (and it will pile on and you will see service-disrupting abuse) and most users will leave without a second thought if they have to wait more than a second or two to see their images.
