>I've been hoping for an Imgur replacement for simple, hosted image sharing.

If you are willing to pay for things, then any good old web host + FTP are your friends.

That sounds like a lot of work. Why not just push my screenshots to good ol' NNTP?

Because downloading a tiny GIF in 20 parts, is always fun. /s

And it’s only accessible for paying users for about a year, slightly more or less according to how much they pay and how much is uploaded by the rest of the internet…

That sounds really out-dated. Why not put the screenshots on a blockchain?

Again, straight up running an FTP server on your machine is still the easiest way to transfer large files.

Also faster than uploading to the cloud, and then having the other party download it.
