Imgur recently started doing something really annoying on their mobile site. If you keep scrolling past the picture you were linked to, it shows a bunch of other pictures that were not posted by the person who posted the first picture. These extra pictures seem to be generally in the same category as the picture that was meant to be linked to, so if the original picture is a slightly risque photo, the photos that fol…
If you click it, not only is your image now public but you'll be ridiculed by imgurs army of sexist unemployed neckbeards that they refer to as "community".

Is there an equivalent to "every program expands to read email" for web services? Because just about every image hosting service seems to go down this feature creep route.

Probably "every web service expands to become a social network."

Afaik, they discontinued offering public links as a way of hosting.
My friend links me to pictures he's put on Dropbox all the time, usually screenshots. Is that what you're referring to?

ironically, image hosting sites being crap was the reason imgur was created in the first place. turns out you have to pay the bills somehow
And most of them were crap because of mess, noisy sites with intrusive ads. The basic problem seems to be that the web has a trust issue, not between users and services. But between services and advertisers. Until that trust issue is solved, so that sites can bring ad hosting under their own domain rather than embed unsupervised ads from third parties, there will be no end to this runaround. That said, inhouse ad man…
Imgur pushing it's own website over direct image links is the exact reason I've stopped using it. I understand they have to make money by but I just want to put a damn picture on the internet and send the link to others. I don't want to have to deal with Imgur's album/site link crap and dumb expansion into being a social network. It's hard now to even find the direct link, nevermind avoid Imgur's annoying messages ab…
As it turns out, it's really hard to monetize an S3 bucket at scale.
I imagine being an image hosting service it would be cheaper in the long run, although I have no idea by how much and if it would make sense all things considered.
Why on earth would Reddit want to add a massive expense (image hosting) at a time that they're already hemorrhaging money? Especially since imgur was still a fairly adequate host for the site. Reddit's image hosting seems like burning money for nothing. Not to mention the Reddit image URLs are horrifying. I upload stuff to imgur just for the nice, short URLs.
Now she's posting more content on Reddit, because it's easier and self contained.
There's also many advantages to keeping users "on site".
When will they start hosting short videos?
