Funnily enough, it was made because all image host did suck, and now it's grown to suck as much as those it replaced.<p>It was a good run. Whose turn is it now?
Always fearful of sharing my images on Imgur as I never thought the business model would cover for the hosting costs of so many images. I can't imagine many people paying for Imgur Premium or getting any value from their ads. In any way, thankful that it does appear to be working, nearly all my public images are shared via Imgur.
