        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.
