Absolutely this. imgur.com is the only reason I can pretend to be "down with the kids".
Oh yes also all the good/important tiktoks end up on there. I don’t even have tiktok and am conversant in all the memes. 7/7 would recommend
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…
You can shop around for bandwidth even if you're a small shop. I run https://filepost.io . It lets you share large files and images. It is profitable with ads alone.
i notice youre using cloudflare to deliver the files on the download side, and im guessing you are taking advantage of bandwidth alliance so ingress/egress are basically free - i always thought the biggest cost for something like this would be the storage, eg if you are letting people send unlimited <5GB files for free, and each of those last for 10 days on what im assuming is some kind of object storage/s3-like thing, surely you are paying a fortune in $/GB/month, even if its pro-rated to 1/3 the amount since the files only live 1/3 a month?
