Not super knowledgeable about image hosting or ad revenues. If you have a super populate photo, would the ads on that page pay enough for the hosting? If that is true, repeat by a million and Imgur has a great business. If not, seems like it will be difficult.
- ______1 13y agoMost people that use Imgur share the direct link to the image. When the direct link is used no ads are displayed.
- zimpenfish 13y agoIt's a wise choice - the comments are often terrifying.
- giarc 13y agoIn design or quality? I commented on an image I posted once. I was horrified to find that you had to individually expand each child comment. Doesn't allow for much discussion.
- zimpenfish 13y agoQuality. It's often "sketchy at best". As for design, there's "Expand All" up the top right of the comments. But yes, the "hidden by default" arrangement is a bit nuts.
- claudius 13y agoThere’s an ‘Expand all comments’ link. Personally I find the community there to be a nice complement to HN. Less serious, less important issues, more usable when tired.
- ______1 13y agoI find it just as surprising that HN doesn't allow you to collapse a comment chain. I use a GreaseMonkey script to do it on my desktop, but when browsing from a mobile device I have to scroll down until I can find the next root comment.
