> We have CDNs and Rust and all that fast crap. It's amazing. Where’s the rust? What is it used for? I couldn’t find it on the repo.
It's aspirational! I meant to write the CLI in it but I'm better with Python so expediency won, but I do hope to write some of it in Rust at some point.

I would hope so. I imagine the child pornographers aren't too keen on handing over payment data with their names in.
Yeah, I hope I won't have to get rid of the free trial or cryptocurrency payment, but I might...

So it's not true. You don't have rust?
Gotta keep the fanboys happy.
You just need a free tier. No way out of that. I am not paying you even $0.01 if I need to upload 2 memes and share it with 5 people. I can afford it but not gonna happen. Here is ideas: make it a subscription. Allow free hosting with no registration but let the image expire (unhost) after N views and rate limit clients. Don't freaking ask me for my email. No, I do not care what your reason is kind sir. It is 2020 basically, don't ask me for my email. Just process the payment and give me a key I can use for futue uploads,ask me to optionally email but man i hate that so much. I don't see why I need any account other than an access token,but even if I do why do I need to give yet another imposing site my email? How about random 5 character subdomains for for payinf accounts and a premium fee for being able to choose the subdomain? All images uploaded with a token get the same subdomain?
Look, I haven't looked too deep into what you do and your business model but with imgur I can still upload pictures for free,which I can link to directly and I quite like being able to share it and have others up/down vote it as a post. You don't do that. Imgur was specifically started because the founder, much like you was frustrated with all the b.s. image hosting options available when uploading to reddit. Right now only people who care about not being the product will pay to use this. Even though I am very much one of those people I can never use it since I am not a frequent image uploader. From what I have seen it replaces imgur as much as a dirt cheap shared webhost does.
But I do applaud your api and acceptance of btc payments. And I subjectively am not impressed by your UI either. Just not attractive.
Fyi: I made these comments tk try and provide honest critique that might be useful to OP.

I'm not a Google fan by any means, but you might explore the Content Safety API [1] they're offering to partners. Thorn might also offer something similar [2]. [1] https://www.blog.google/around-the-globe/google-europe/using... [2] https://www.thorn.org/
Glad this exists. Still does not replace imgur. You just need a free tier. No way out of that. I am not paying you even $0.01 if I need to upload 2 memes and share it with 5 people.

I thought about doing this as a form of easily managed passive income. But then I remembered: copyright takedown requests and child pornography. Keeping on top of bad actors with an image host sounds like a huge headache! And if you grow that means you have to hire people, and then how do you keep the price so low? Good luck!
Yeah, that's my worry as well. Hopefully the fact that people have to pay will curb that a bit, but yeah, I'm worried about it.
