Basically the title. People are currently upset with Imgur for layoffs or something and instead of doing the sensible thing of stopping it’s use, they’re flooding it. Seems like a good opportunity to shill an european alternative if it exists.

    If images automatically get deleted after a certain amount of time, I could see it costing less to host, but that’s just my gut feel. Not necessarily reliable, I think.

    Letting the API be used by companies at a fee is also a possibility. Selling merch is also a thing. Affilate sales is yet another.

    Then there’s subscription services. If the site runs really smoothly, is intuitive to use, and cancelling easy, I could see that also being useful.
