I hope their architecture handles the HN front page load well. :) https://imgz.org/i9hxfgRu.png

May be more a TOS problem than a load problem, though maybe they are on the big paid plan at CF.

He says there's a $5/year option, but if you go to pay, there isn't one.

I've been hoping for an Imgur replacement for simple, hosted image sharing. I'm happy to pay $1/mo, but when I tried to upload https://camo.githubusercontent.com/9ec8d13de2878c899fda0bd43... I got this, which doesn't look like what I uploaded: https://cln.sh/4coS9T / https://imgz.org/i5qphFzd.gif

>I've been hoping for an Imgur replacement for simple, hosted image sharing. If you are willing to pay for things, then any good old web host + FTP are your friends.

That sounds like a lot of work. Why not just push my screenshots to good ol' NNTP?

It's a statement, not a product.

And it's a bullshit statement, FWIW

Strike while the iron is hot I guess, but not sure why you you are being such an ass in your copy, it's kind of a turn off, even if it is super cheap. Maybe it's a trend where if something is super cheap people tend to write in that style, but it kind of erodes trust, unless this is supposed to be a joke site, but the fact that I don't know really hurts your chance to actually get users to want to give you their emai…

Goes perfectly well with the spirit of Imgur's style back in 2009. I like the cheeky tone in personal projects like this, it doesn't have to be serious because it's not a startup with investors and neckties, at least not yet.

If you upload a video of you throwing money at the screen I will give you a year's subscription.

This is ~17x more expensive than B2 served through Cloudflare.

I see a lot of comments about the $5 a year quote. I see $12 on front page - I wonder if it's just changed in last hour or am I getting a Canadian special :-)
