Imgur, great service, lasted this long, amazing. But I always wondered how any of these random image hosts afforded bandwidth (reminds of the other various ones like TwitPic who was saved from being taken offline by Twitter). I mean, I have a gallery of images in there, privately stored, directly linked to here and there around the net, without paying for anything for years. I think at one point I can't even remember…
My guess is PR. Regularly, on imgur, you see a pic in interest for a celebrity, a rich person, a movie. It looks organic, but if you look closely, there are plenty of weird things about it. Then it disappears as suddenly as it arrived. I believe that they sell the front page to PR firms that need to promote something in a way the people think themself came up with the hype. It's probably the same for a lot of communi…
Medialab's other things include like, Genius (ok, fair enough, sustains itself / useful/ well-used I'm assuming)....and Kik? The teen messaging app from like 2010 that no one uses anymore? hm Had to look a bit harder to even find their website ( https://www.medialab.la/ ) - 'a holding company of consumer internet brands' heh, sheesh, yeah that's not sketchy.
oh the Genius acquisition was also (announced) today?! wow someone just went shopping eh? Edit: Sorry missed that was news from the 16th: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28550527

But who are these companies that successfully provide this service?
Besides, such company would do its best to stay discrete, by design.

Bandwidth is pretty cheap if you look beyond cloud. There are providers that offer magnitudes cheaper bandwidth than e.g. AWS but you have to set servers yourself.

Before the 2016 election it was full of Pro-trump meme content. Now there is absolutely none and it's full of orthodox Democrat boosting meme content with any Republican mention advancing the idea that the whole party and all its supporters are completely beyond redemption being in league with Satan himself.
