Imgur

It has been extremely overused, people started to put too much blind trust into it, so this kind of outcome is not surprising - it was pretty much inevitable.

Imgur is fine at what it does... but recent changes have lowered my score because of where I feel the service is heading. I understand advertisers don't like sexual content, but to ban it completely from the platform shows a policy shift on Imgur's side. "We're still a business - we need to be profitable."

I'm rating this from the viewpoint of image hosting. Imgur used to be the simplest, easiest image host that I could find. It's still decent, but as the years go by they keep stripping features from the image hosting area and forcing me more and more towards the awful front page and social "meme-sharing" functionality they've branched out to. There is no good reason to strip out perfectly working features such as view styles and album overview other than to force users to change how they use your platform. I just want to create an album and share it, why must I go through 10 hard-to-find sub menus to get there when previously an easy overview was one dropdown away?

Imgur is still one of the best image hosts around, for now, due to their stability. They've been here this long and won't be leaving any time soon, so it's unlikely you will lose your images. That said, they seem determined to become more of a social network than a good image host and the moment a solid replacement shows up, I will be leaving.
