Seriously though. If an image gets to the front page of /r/all, it can easily get a million hits. That half megabyte image will consume half a terabyte of data transfer.

#232I 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.

If you want to increase your sales you should add a counter like this on the most expensive offer: "Limited offer. {random(2, 100)} just bough this plan." #pro-tip

#234feedback: overall i like what you're building. I like that you've put personality into the marketing material, but i think you've pushed that a bit too far. It feels hostile towards other services. While i don't disagree with your logic I _also_ don't like tying myself to hostile feeling services, even if the hostility isn't directed at me. To me the "because I'm a great guy" feels self aggrandizing and egotistical i…
I wanted to make a site that didn't take itself seriously. If it was going to get some attention, it would have to also do something, and an image host was as good as any. It's too bad that you don't like my site, but the entire point is that it's not bland. Some people get a kick out of it, even though others dislike it.

#235What if I need absolute surety my image(s) is not going to be subject to bit rot and not be available in a few years time? What if I do 'multi-posts' and share the same image across 10,000+ bulletin boards? Your bandwidth will run out very quickly if you saw the types of posting that I do (I use automation software to post to 10,000+ boards). And those posts last for decades. I am not sure I can rely on this service…

Yup; don't mind a little informality, but all this shit and asses and fucks are trying too hard, don't really want to give my money to a project that markets itself as this hypercool.

> Why do I care about how a site keeps records of payments? I think you might want to care because that's a basic requirement of any legal business (or non-profit) pretty much anywhere. The service is also time-limited. Would you pay some amount for images to be hosted for a limited time? That seems like a perfectly valid decision. It may not be feasible to accept anonymous payments or accept credit card payments wit…
Also, an email or other means for the service to contact you, the user, is necessary for account recovery. Building a SaaS product without any efficient way to recover a lost password is silly. It leads to a ton of customer service headaches.
