I prefer postimages.org, it's even less shady or no-bullshit then this one.

  A free image host doesn't give me much confidence in the guarantee of "image will not expire". Also, I don't like how me and my 10 images are on the same free tier as the guy abusing the service with 1,000,000s of images. This is also my problem with Discord: no way to give them money as a server operator. So every time there's downtime or API issues, I think of the Discord servers I've been to where children are literally spamming a channel as fast as they can and I get annoyed that there's no way for me to get a better, paid tier for my server where we're trying to do some serious work. Having no business model or hiding it from the user (I didn't see a /pricing page) does not seem like "no bullshit" to me. It just reeks of borrowed time, ephemeral weekendware, or VC funding.

    You should care about your images and that's all. You have no need to worry about the guy abusing the service with his 1M images, that's the owner of said service problem. As for confidence in service I can tell you I use it for at least 5 years and still can access those images. For a free service I'd say is quite good. I don't have earlier images since I discovered the site only 5 years ago so I can't speak for higher image retention time.

      > that's the owner of said service problem Thus, at least indirectly, it's a potential problem for every user or customer of said owner's service.

        This definitely already happened 100%, I bet meanwhile the owner(s) of postimages.org dealt with and they still up. So I worry about my images and that's it.
