    I used Gfycat (before uploads broke) all the time mainly for its silent autoplay in Discord to share gaming clips with my friends. Any alternatives? Or am I now just slapping my vids straight into Discord?

      Not sure what would prevent you to do that, but you can post video in discord that plays inline.

          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.

              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.
