Losing imgur has been... pretty wild. Lasting at around 12 years, Imgur was the longest running image hosting site that was still good and not shit, emerging after the photobuckets and imageshacks of the 'net had long since become completely unbearable. It was the most versatile site of them and lasted longer than any of the original image hosting founders. Losing it has truly sucked. Old topics with dead links, bookmarks to imgur galleries destroyed and rendered useless, it was really a testament to how the phrase "the internet is permanent" has no meaning anymore. --- http://i.imgur.com/0UFI0T9.jpg ...

I only use Imgur because it's the only image upload site that GameFAQs' built-in embedding supports. If it wasn't for that, I'd fully switch over to my backup option. https://freeimage.host/ --- https://i.imgur.com/PmF1p9q.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

Image hosting will always eventually enshittify because it always scales into increasing unprofitabilty. If you become big and easy enough to be the new standard, the cost will grow unsustainable without adding things that hurt the user experience like ads and feature removal. --- 1 line break(s), 160 characters allowed ...

it's kind of like youtube in a way, in that it lasted so long and was the best at what it did, that now that it's permanently shit, there's no good alternative, as it was able to beat all the competition when it mattered. --- http://i.imgur.com/0UFI0T9.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

Yep, it was even supported by the site's built-in image embedding. Now it's only direct uploads (which shrink images like crazy if they're really big) and Imgur (which is going to shit) that are supported.
