The traditional answer for people wanting to get free load is to run an image-hosting service:
* Accept uploads.
* Push them to S3 / similar.
* Marvel as you have to filter out nasty images.
* Struggling under the load of hotlinked images.
* Start performing rewrites to serve ads.
* Add chat/comments to try to build a community.
* Get more and more slow and ad-heavy over time.
The process repeats every few years.
