Time for someone to create an image hosting service that doesn't suck part 2?

More like part 2,000,000. It's an unsolveable problem. To Imgur's credit, it lasted longer than I thought it would.

It might still last; Tumblr is still there, albeit in a lesser form. And as other posters mentioned, the pushback against NSFW content isn't just Imgur.

It is not unsolvable.

People with the money, time, and luxury just are not capable of solving it, as they exist in ivory towers far away from real problems, and can not fathom investing in people outside their circles with solutions.

So what you are saying is it is easily solvable as long as you have an infinite source of free money.

Heck, I'll solve it for half that much!

That is not what I'm saying at all.

I'm saying the solution to many "unsolvable" problems might just be in the brain of an unknown person operating within the drudges of wage slavery, like a Subway worker for example [1].

There are countless unqualified people wielding an "infinite source of free money" already. Why should they, while others are left to rot? Why are we all okay with their autonomy to use "free money", players winning in a made up game they created, while others are crushed by the weight of survival?

Most people don't need infinite money. They just need enough to survive and be happy, while also have a direct stake in the fruits of their labor instead of having to turn over all their fruits to people who have free money. An exchange of survival for someone's life work is not an exchange worthy of even considering.

This suppresses innovative solutions across the board. It saps away the energy and motivation people have to contribute their solutions. It is an underlying mechanism to a modern dark age.

The solution is to keep building new image hosts that show user growth and then sell the company to a greater fool that thinks they can monetize that user base. Rinse and repeat.

You jest, but Nikita Bier has made millions of dollars with this formula
