And Imgur sucks for anything high def, 4K or that you want uncompressed, like, say, astrophotos. I'm going to kick in and pay for astrobin once I get the court shit settled and have a solid budget for the rest of the year. The benefit of building a community like Imgur is doing is that it creates a captive audience you can build data on, to sell to advertisers. "If the service is free, you are the product." Bandwidth is cheap. Server farms are expensive and need constant diligence. And an image site needs one heck of a server farm if it want to be big.
