Those are some pretty terrible prices. You can share images (or anything else) publicly from Dropbox/Box/GDrive/OneDrive for a lot cheaper. Or just cut out the middleman and set up a S3 bucket for a few cents.

This is like $12 a year. I also have a dropbox account, which I hate. I also have various web storage accounts. For sharing silly daft images that have little connection to me, I use my imgz.org account all the time.

$12/year for 2GB.

Free plans: Dropbox 2GB, OneDrive 5GB, Box 10GB, GDrive 15GB. They all let you generate public read-only links which aren't connected back to your account.

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…

Did anybody else read the copy, then read this comment, then read the copy again and go "what planet is this guy from?" How did "being such an ass" get defined down to something this mild? People are so easily offended these days. You can sign up for any image hosting website you want. I mean, you wouldn't go to Chipotle and rant at them for three paragraphs about how their mild salsa is way too spicy for you.

I was fine with all of it except the domestic violence jokes. Those weren’t funny enough to warrant the topic.

Fantastic! I will send you the contracts to sign. I didn't relaunch though, I just wrote a comment about it and someone posted it and now I have to fix my EXIF stripping breaking animated GIFs at 2 am :( Ah well, no better time than the present.

Hah, Greek time zone eh?

Yes :( There are worse timezones, there's this school in England whose timezone is like 12 minutes away from the rest of the country.

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. server: cloudflare cf-cache-status: HIT

I am definitely on something.

Unfortunately, Stavros has some issues keeping his services up. I was a user of his https://historio.us long-time ago, a paying one, and he just killed the service and lost all my data. Some time later, he restarted the service and gave my username to somebody else. Don't put anything meaningful and valuable into his services!

  Hello,
  I'm afraid I couldn't find your backup file :/ It looks like your account may have been one of the older ones to be reclaimed, when we hadn't added the backup functionality yet. I'm sorry about that :/
  
  Thanks,
  Stavros

To me it's charming and funny. I like it. Others will, too.

Really? It doesn't get much cheaper than $1/mo. Yes, I know that's only 2GB, but how many images do you need to share anonymously with the internet?

iCloud has a 50GB plan for $1/mo. OneDrive does 100GB for $2/mo, GDrive for $1.67/mo.

larger cloud providers are free/cheaper

https://catbox.moe/ et al are free and no account needed

B2 and similar with a little effort is half a cent per gig

I don't know why you would use this unless you like OP's attitude and want to simply support him.

You know what, I literally couldn't give a fuck.

I have multiple hosted web storage, google storage, paid-for dropbox etc accounts, as well as reddit and imgur accounts - and the one I use to share stupid images is this one.

This was posted here a couple of years back, I liked the pitch, i paid for it.

I also enjoy avocado liberally smashed on shit.
