RE: Everyone on Steemit and the Web today: It is not you, Amazon servers are down, etc and affecting tons of online services
Images are not saved in the Steem Blockchain, only hypertext. I've been thinking a lot today about encrypted images. LBRY coin claims to be working on something for this. Any other suggestions? Images seem to be back but I concur, there is a lesson to be learned.
I have got nothing my friend. Oh look over there!!! A flag! lol
I think it is more of an E. Coast technical issue from what I am seeing online, comments, on my side of things, etc. It is not just here, some mail servers are out, images not loading, other sites etc
IPFS.pics (based on IPFS) would be a good candidate for hosting photos, although even they suffer from too much traffic sometimes (like now).

I started this off as a joke.... but the truther in me knows this is a real thing.
