While not simple at first, I found that buying a new domain and pointing it to a storage zone within BunnyCDN[1] solved my problems with Imgur perfectly. It also provided a whole afternoon of fun for my wife and I while we brainstormed names for our personal image hosting service.
I wrote a simple wrapper script to upload[2] and have had no problems since. The script calls another script to optimize the image before uploading[3], but if you prefer to skip that part, BunnyCDN has something they call Bunny Optimizer[4] that can handle it for you on their side, for a fee ($9.50 per month).
The storage box set me back $1.92 last year plus $50 for the domain — because of the TLD —, and I can use it to do whatever I want, with no tracking, ads, or the annoying social aspect that most image hosting websites inevitably add in a desperate attempt to make money[5] — instead of, you know, charging from the get go.

- jlelse 6y agoI wanted to suggest exactly that! BunnyCDN with storage is nice and cheap. And the API is quite easy to use.
