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. https://imgz.org/blog/2020/12/23/haha-suckers/

BTW, https://imgz.org/i9xyk2H2.png is broken and included prominently in https://imgz.org/blog/2020/12/23/haha-suckers/

Not sure is it some intentional irony or an actual bug.

Don't tell me what to do! I want to fix animated gifs and I'll fix animated gifs!

Per the edits on your previous posts, I read this more as "and I'll pivot to only supporting animated gifs!"

I can't say I didn't consider it...

Just wait. The company that brought you Kik and Whisper and Genius is now the proud owner of Imgur and all the fabulous images and data contained within.

Did Medialab actually "bring" us those companies, or just acquire them after their founding teams already had?

They acquired the teams and the product, but they brought the business model. Much as will happen here.

The fact that you are putting customer chats in public forum without their consent is just terrible.

It's absolutely fair game to post customer chats/emails that contradict a false and damaging narrative. Maybe the OP misremembered, maybe the OP has an axe to grind, either way the issue is firmly resolved now.

No, it absolutely is not.

I thought the comments to this were well above average on the entertaining scale. Pretty embarrassing, though, that probably the majority of comments seemed to take it seriously, even reprimanding the creator for not being serious enough, not taking his Business seriously enough. It seems to create dissonance among many that such a thing even exists. People seem deeply confused it's not full speed ahead, like every o…

This is how I feel too, it was surprising (and educational) to see some commenters having trouble accepting that someone might have just made a thing for fun. I think it's the fact that you can buy it that trips them up. I imagine Cards Against Humanity got a lot of the same comments.

If you don't mind using AWS you can just set up an S3 bucket and a point a CloudFront distro to it (takes upload() { aws s3 cp ${@:2} $1 s3://$BUCKET_NAME echo https://$CLOUDFRONT_DOMAIN/$1 | pbcopy }

Honestly, so many things could go wrong here. I’m a programmer and I’d have to google how to “do” the above. If anything, this makes me want to sign up for IMGZ. Maybe the above comment should be on IMGZ landing page.
