I searched for the original imgur posting before clicking this post because I remembered the wording being so similar. https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit.com/comments/7zlyd/my_gift_to_reddit_i_created_an_image_hosting https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit.com/comments/7zlyd/my_gift_t... > My Gift to Reddit: I created an image hosting service that doesn't suck. What do you think? And their comment explaining it > 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.
