I found the "Money" page ( https://imgz.org/money/ )'s marketing style extremely distasteful and offensive. I understand the author is trying to be cool and all, but this is too much by piling up vulgar words all over, IMO.
Plus, the author seems not to know the difference between “vulva” and “vagina.”
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I donated because I like makers who don't take things too seriously. EDIT: @StavrosK, consider making the "From" set in your hello email to something prettier than "hello"
Hmm, what would you suggest?

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 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…
If you're paying for something, the concept of an "account" has to exist in order to record the payment against. If you're paying for something, that generally transfers a chunk of personal information for anti-fraud purposes. Given that, an email is not a huge ask, and is very useful for e.g. billing reminders. It doesn't have to be a spam thing and GDPR is gradually cracking down on that. There are children and peo…
Now that makes little sense. Why do I care about how a site keeps records of payments? You can create an account on the backend,plenty of sites already allow for guest check outs with no email asked so I don't get what you're on about. Email is a humongous ask for me. I will even pay double to avoid that. No, it is not useful for payment reminders,those are spammy to me. This is why you need to let people opt in! I don't want to give you any email addresses. You will decide some day how valuable your collection of emails and pictures is and you will sale it to the highesr bidder. Even if it is a paid service how can I know you won't get greedy. Also wake up please! Assume email does not exist unless you need to tell users something,and they give consent. You do not need email to host images. I do not wish to use a burner email for your lack of consideration for my consent. I do not wish to receive emails from an image host. If you need email for antifraud you're screwing it up already and I would rather just use AD supported free services because at least they are not tracking me by my email -- a very valuable datapoint for trackers. Once you have my email you can do micro-targeting very easily and basically figure out all there is to know about me. You do not need people's email unless they say they want you to email them. Heck, even if I want your reminders, email is the last way I want to use. Send me login/push notifications. I do not want to expose yet another site to account take over in the event my email is compromised. I seen people lose a lot of moneu because criminals phished their email. If I am paying you with btc, I do not wish to have any billing reminders or anything tracing the transaction to my email! Trust me,please! You do not need email unless you really and specifically with user consent (after a warning dialog) have a reason to use it. Please stop. Not one more decade of ignorance with respect to this subject.
Oh and yeah, I need a free tier but so does OP. That's how you get users. The more you have free tier users, the more users convert to paying and the more sustainable the service becomes.
1 - be free
2 - require no login or javascript
3 - give you direct links, without ads or tracking
This site fails at least the first two tests.
There used to be sites that passed all of these, and really were no BS image hosts. Sadly, I haven't seen one in many years.
Now pretty much all of them at least require logins or javascript.

"It's mysterious and alluring, and maybe it slaps you a bit from time to time, but it doesn't really mean it, deep down you know it loves you and if only you weren't such an annoying user, it wouldn't have to do that."
This is a joke about physically abusive relationships. I found the rest of the irreverent tone funny, but then this made me sad.

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, you have a choice. You can use Imgur, fighting off their user-hostile UI, pay for IMGZ or pay and set up a VPS yourself. For me, the best option was #2, but it didn't exist, so I made it. And yeah, the UI is trash. Buy the big plan so I can afford a designer!
> And yeah, the UI is trash
Uh, so what exactly is the argument in favor of your service again?
