    who do you use for image sharing?

    Hi all -

    I'm going to be posting a bunch of guns for sale soon, and evidently, CG needs my pics stored somewhere accessible through a URL. Who do you all use for cloud storage of images?

    Thanks...

          I use ImageShack...it's about $18 a year.

                imgur was created by people who hate photosuckit. Which is all you need to know.

                You also don't need to create an account to drop pictures there but you certainly can if you wish.

                    Goes with the territory, inevitable. Marxists demand something for nothing, feel they are owed things for free.

                    I'm not knocking anyone for using Imgur, but be aware of the company you keep there, and possibly support by its use.

                    I've used it in the past, even recently, but like you I can no longer stand the barrage of NeoSocialist/ANTIFA nonsense nor want the impression by my using Imgur I help support that messaging, so that I'll be looking elsewhere in the future for picture hosting. It's a reason I haven't posted any photos in a while.

                    Nothing wrong with getting something for free from the generous, but there is more at work there than meets the eye and I suspect Imgur is intentionally a bee hive for that demographic, and even promotes it.

                    So of course they will flock to it, but not just simply to use it for hosting photos and feel grateful, but to exploit it, gunk it up with their noxious virtue-signaling Maoist nonsense propaganda, but to profit off of it like they do with EBT and welfare, government cheese, student-loan 'forgiveness', repatriations for nothing, free housing, automatic citizenship, Obamacare, Prop-47 discounts, cash-free bail, etc.

                    If some level of government had that information, what would they do with it? How would having that info benefit public safety? How would it benefit law enforcement?

                          Everyone's free to do what they want but spend a few minutes on imgur reading all the mostly radical leftist posts and then notice how 100% the replies are completely in agreement.
                          I've never seen a troll or any counter argument on even the most idiotic anti-capitalism / anti-freedom, / anti-American craziness that's posted there.

                          I think that should tell you that it's completely corrupted with no free speech to be found. So beyond the question of if that's the company you want to keep, or if you're somehow your images are making that type of company rich from advertising profits... Maybe folks should ask yourself can you trust them with your images of whatever you're sharing in the long long run.

                          There are other free image sharing websites that don't push their radical leftist agenda on to young people and in my humble opinion you'd be better off going that way.

                          But again it's a free country spend a minute reading some of the craziness there before you decide to work with that type.

                              Same. I got hosed by the Photo bucket melt down and lost hundreds of pictures attached to dozens of posts.

                              Now, I just upload from my computer. It is something of a tedious process to get the photo to show in the post (unlike many forums which are automatic in this regard) but I do it anyway.
