The cynical side of me makes me think that this will go down the road of all other image hosting services that didn't suck: To cover the immense bandwidth costs, sooner or later, it will have to suck like everybody else.
At that point, a new service that "doesn't suck" will pop up.
- Retric 16y agoThere are several hosting services that offer 3+TB per month plans for 130$ / month. So if you stick with 1MB images you only need to recover ~1 cent per 200 downloads to break even. IMO, that seems doable.
- sebastianavina 16y agoactually, Imgur.com was announced with exactly the same title at reddit some time ago... edit: found it http://www.reddit.com/r/reddit.com/comments/7zlyd/my_gift_to_reddit_i_created_an_image_hosting/ http://www.reddit.com/r/reddit.com/comments/7zlyd/my_gift_to...
- pilif 16y agothat's what I had in mind, but I didn't know whether imgur was known here.
