Imgur.com blocking steemit.com hotlinks to images
Apparently it is against their terms of service, so please find a different solution.
We will be working on our own solution to this problem, but for now you can avoid this problem by using a different means of hosting images.
go to the image you used on imgur.com then you can right click on the image and do a google search for the same image.
We need the IPFS integration to store anything decentralized asap.
any suggestions/advises for Imgur.com replacement?
flickr.com maybe?
I can say for certain that flickr works. You just have to dig a bit in the code to find src= ______________ with the underline being the code you need to copy and paste.
Easy to use and it doesn't need an account !!!

After Imgur started censoring images because of the "Fat People Hate" drama on reddit , http://sli.mg/ was set up as an alternative.
Even with https://www.blogger.com/ we can host pictures
Totally steems unreasonable.

really worth it!
Photobucket works for me, for years

That's good to know. It's not the only place that offers such a service, though it's the most widely used one.
That's all I need now, they are hosting the image I use in my only post with nice upvotes on it, so far it seems the block has missed me, who knows maybe I am just seeing an image in my browser cache. Anyway all that is not important, what is the terms of service this goes against exactly?
Well, that is weird, because that should be their business mode: being
linked from other social media networks..
Perhaps they'll be happy if you host a script provided by them, then there'll be links with more info (e.g. indicates the picture is from their site).
@dantheman, can you please confirm that we won't lose earnings by editing our posts to update the image links? Thanks.
