Call me back once they have a plan to deal with abusive content.

For $1/mo/user, it's still profitable to spend 2 minutes reviewing an abuse complaint and banning a user. :-)

I'm not sure that meets US legal standards for moderation of sexual images, particularly ones involving children. Of course the last thing the host of IMGZ wants is child porn. But it's going to happen anyway and preventing it is a major barrier to hosting images in this way.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

How about filesystem or object storage? That where you meant to put a FILE which is what the user uploaded.

If IMGZ was a file sharing service it would be called FILZ or something. Obviously this is not that.

And if it were a hotel it could just be called ZZZ.

is your service profitable? what tier of service does average user go for?

I used to be a subscriber (until my subscription lapsed, but I would have renewed if there was a reminder email!), I went for the cheapest plan. (also if you pay with bitcoin you get a fun message after subscribing)

I haven't been this entertained for the mere price of $12 in a very long time. I think it's worth the price of admission even if I never even try to upload an image.

Oh no no no, that won't do. Please send your SLA and NDA for me to sign, we can't be spending $12 willy-nilly! We could have almost bought one movie ticket to Cats for that money!

I bought a movie on Amazon Prime just yesterday for $14 and it didn't make me as happy as this comment section.

Stavros. You need to detach a little bit, get a 10,000m view. You've got something, you can be successful. But your approach is "out of whack" and people aren't going to support you. Conform to influence.

Conform to influence. OBEY. I was going to upload a nice screencap from a 1988 movie They Live to IMGZ and link it here, but it turns out my trial expired so no link for you.

Obey propaganda :D

actually, conform to influence doesn't mean that. It means, to influence a group you need to be part of the group. To be part of the group, you need to first conform to the group.

I'm joking, but the volume for IMGZ is way too low (and always will be) for data storage to matter.

Still low even after HN surge?

Let me check...

TWO more images were added today! At this rate, I'm going to need to buy a whole datacenter by next week.

It's clear: Hollywood needs to option this comment section.

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
