I have the opposite problem: I built https://imgz.org https://imgz.org to not make money and it does. Not a lot, but not zero. I'll have to fix that.
By the way, we're hiring: https://imgz.org/blog/2020/12/23/haha-suckers/ https://imgz.org/blog/2020/12/23/haha-suckers/
- tomwojcik 6y ago"... are ashamed of what Imgur has become?" I'm no expert but I think one could say you might get into trouble for defamation if you write something like that on your product page.
- StavrosK 6y agoFor asking people if they're ashamed? I doubt it, but I'm not an expert either.

- mckirk 6y agoI have to admit, I much prefer this approach of "honest abuse" to most sites' business models.
- dewey 6y agoI thought that from what we have seen with all the image hosters coming and going every few years is that the financials don’t work out at some point and they are just losing money. Then they have to try to add ads, prevent hotlinking, add their own social network and handle abuse until people move on and the cycle continues. What do you think you are going to do differently when you reach that point?
- amw-zero 6y agoI guess it makes money because you shamelessly advertise in response to completely unrelated questions.
- StavrosK 6y agoOh I'm sorry, I didn't realize my side-project was unrelated to a question about side-projects. But you are correct, advertising things means they make money. That's why nobody has ever heard of Juicero.
- lentil_soup 6y agoThe thread is explicitly about side projects that don't make money

- dudeinhawaii 6y agoOne of the image links on your hiring page is broken. https://imgz.org/i9xyk2H2.png https://imgz.org/i9xyk2H2.png (or is that a joke I glazed over)
