Imgur isn't a problem, and this shouldn't be a problem for Imgur. There are similarities, but that's mostly due to necessity in good UI. If people prefer Imgur, they should certainly use Imgur.

Itsosticky is fast (server hardware permitting), modern, has no advertising at all at the moment, and no third-party sharing widgets. I can't discuss plans for monetisation - there are none as yet.
