I mean, how can you monetize free image hosting?
Not in a greedy capitalist way, but simply paying for servers, developers and coffee. There's hardly any revenue stream in image hosting. So a pivot to a more social media like site makes sense.
Not sure if folks have realized we're at the end game of free internet money.
Oh tell me about it and it is effecting everything. Podcasts are being canceled or networks are talking about canceling shows. Every podcast I listen to talks about how ad money is drying up and that is probably the reason sites are closing down.
