Imgur has been around for a long time now, and their terms allow hotlinking on forums. Clearly consumers aren't going to pay $400/year for this feature. Why does anyone still use Photobucket?
- signal11 9y agoThere was a story[1] a few days ago about how imgur was becoming more annoying and obtrusive in the face of Reddit's new image hosting features. Ultimately, for image hosting (like everything else) there's no free lunch. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14595212 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14595212
- chippy 9y agoIt's possible that Imgur will, when it gets as old as Photobucket, change their terms and start charging more. Will we expect people in tech forums in the future to be writing "What does anyone still use Imgur?" The answer to both the future and the present questions is that they have been using it in the past (inertia) and have not moved their thousands of images (cost/pain).
