Thank you!
My thinking is to start with donations. There is no such thing as a free service. If people get value from using it to upload anonymously and they want to keep it going, makes sense to donate.
In the future I could also add a subscription account for additional features, access to an API, bigger upload limits, transformations, greater ability to organise, etc.
- not_your_vase 3y agoIs there a backup plan? Not saying that relying on donations is impossible, but realistically there is a very small chance that enough donation will flow in continuously. As a sidenote, reddit is (was?) the one of main user of imgur, however https://www.google.com/search?q=%22haasie.com%22+site%3Areddit.com https://www.google.com/search?q=%22haasie.com%22+site%3Aredd... yields no results - maybe it is worth to promote it there also.
- rvavruch 3y agoYour question honestly got me thinking. If everything goes completely sideways there are a number of shuttering options I can think of. One is to turn off any new uploads, and just serve the existing content, presumably the bandwidth on old content would be much lower - until some sustainable plan can be devised. Last resort is to approach the ArchiveTeam mentioned here to see if and we could to setup a maintenance service. To your side note, yes, I want to promote it on Reddit, as soon as I've added a few more features - like donations.
