Best alternative to Imgur?

Malevolence · 9 Sep 2020 at 21:00

Now that Imgur has gone to **** and is demanding that you either pay or allow ads in order to upload, what is the best alternative?

Akagi · 9 Sep 2020 at 21:00

It went to **** ages ago. Pictures going missing, the mobile app no longer lets you upload pictures, etc. I haven't had issues with popups though. But I have an account and I am always signed in.

Also have 3000 images on there...

Wonder how much of their ad revenue they paid to Disney in order to use the 'baby Yoda' image?

Akagi · 9 Sep 2020 at 21:09

Maybe Disney paid them.

I've been uploading to the mobile app for ages.

Anyway, also following. I switched to Imgur after Photobucket went subscription only. But it annoys me because its a "social" platform. I don't care about my feed, or points or "trending" or #hashtags. I just want somewhere to host images and allow direct linking easily. So if there's a good alternative I'd be interested.

I use this:

It's one of the few alternatives that my work laptop doesn't spit the dummy at for !!CLOUD OMG YOURE PUTTING THINGS ON THE CLOUD! ABORT ABORT ABORT!!

Doesn't work for me. Hasn't done on the last two phones I use.

It comes up with the "while you wait" type popup where you can let it do it in the background, and nothing happens. It doesn't upload anything no matter how long you leave it.

I have to use the desktop site in a mobile browser.

I always us imgbb, much less cumbersome than what imgur became with its feed.

Tried it, don't like it. Doesn't provide a BBCode link.

Google photos works for the odd image I stick on here

The forum has a picture insert tool so you don't need to type the

tags, which are quick and easy to do anyway.
