I remember there was another article about image uploads and content moderation (here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28684250 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28684250), essentially saying that if you create a open uploading service, you WILL start getting lots of spammy images / abuse.
CF Images always seems like a LOT more $$ than other image hosting tools out there. What other service did you end up going with?

- arecurrence 5y agoI often use Bunny CDN where it's $10 a month for UNLIMITED image alterations. They charge half a cent per gigabyte on traffic of the post processed image (in their bulk tier) along with 1 cent per gigabyte for storage. The nearest competitor is likely over 10x more (Caveat: For the workloads I've applied this on).

- yawnxyz 5y agothey also removed the private images part, and pivoted towards becoming a "social network" (several years too late). Honestly no idea how they stay alive. Also honestly no idea why they never jumped on the NFT bandwagon. Oh, they're also apparently a tiny team (<50) too, so that probably helps
