Imgur's origin:
"I got fed up with all the other image hosts out there so I made my own. It doesn't force you to compress your images, and it has neat things like crop, resize, rotate, and compression from 10-100. It's my gift to you. Let's not see anymore imageshack/photobucket around here ;)"

- StavrosK 7y agoI remember when imgur started as well, it was born out of the same sentiment, but chose an unsustainable financial model (in my opinion). I think $5/yr strikes a good balance between "an easy place to share some images" and "not expensive enough that the average person will have trouble paying".
