Getting kind of annoyed with imgur's bloat and it trying to become a reddit clone.

Does anyone use a site that is basically imgur 3 years ago? Just simple image uploading and nothing more?

??????

lol i have the same problem with imgur
they used to be so simple i get too confused now

strongbad

instead of upload image it's "new post"

i dont want to post on your website i want to upload a picture to post it on some stupid forum >:[

yea i noticed it was like GIVE IT A TITLE, GIVE IT A DESCRIPTION when i last uploaded and i was like uhhhhh can i not??? so yeah im interested too lol

i remember that there used to be min.us or something but it seems gone now. i've done some googling and it's crazy how there isn't another popular minimal image uploader. there's a good business opportunity (or maybe a bad one which is why there isn't one

imgur has become such a bloated piece of shit over the course of the last few months

it can't just be an image host, no, it HAS to also be a garbage social network apparently insultdood;

here's a decent one i've been using as an alternative: http://cubeupload.com/

it has the added benefit of only utilizing lossless compression methods, very much unlike imgur which will render large images unsightly artefact-riddled messes

in fact haven't found any downsides to cubeupload yet tbh

i.minus.com

that one used to be great too but it unfortunately went down the same path as imgur and i don't even think it offers anonymous image hosting anymore
