YonicBoom 10/24/18 12:18:46 PM #2:	imgur did the usual image hosting site thing where it was the best for a few years, but then tried to be its own social media site instead of a pure image hosting one. Seems to happen to every single one of them, I hope imgtc does not meet the same fate in 5 years. <cite>YonicBoom posted [p:911077505] in So what ex...

That way you have to go to their site to view the image and they get that sweet, sweet ad revenue. --- See me on Discord! ^.^ Eevee's Mystery Dungeon: https://discord.gg/qavbtaQ <cite>Eevee-Trainer posted [p:911077508] in So what ex...

It won't happen to imgtc, there's way more than enough money just in image hosting How does that actually work? I mean, if your images are just being embedded somewhere, you aren't getting ad revenue (not to mention the primary use of ImgTC is on GameFAQs, where a lot of people likely have adblockers). Do you run on donations or something? --- Tiamat is best babe. <cite>TiamatLover posted [p:911105484] in So what ex...

Do you run on donations or something? Users that link to albums or the gallery page for images will bring in a decent amount of revenue. I'm also going to reintroduce better small video hosting in the near future as well, and possibly a way to browse public uploads as well. Those could easily generate a low x,xxx monthly revenue in the beginning --- Owner of https://imgtc.com/ <cite>Ray_Dorset posted [p:911106231] in So what ex...
