I share a pic and their app is terrible. Sometimes you have to make it public, probably because they want you to hang around or interact. So people will comment on your pictures of they are public.
Snarky comments, like, 'I've never seen this before.'
I'm like, dude, I'm just here to host a pic. I don't give a fuck about your social interactions or your comments.
I think i have a negative rating. I guess I'm glad. Go to Facebook or Instagram if you want interaction.

Dropbox are removing the public folder next week

They always turn to shit because they figure out that hosting massive amounts of data is not cheap and then they try to make some dough.

Dunno about their app but on desktop making the image public is not mandatory at all...

Are there any hidden limitations regarding image deletion? Such as expiring links if not viewed once every n days, or such? I've seen NoelShack used on some French gaming forums but never looked far into it.

How can so many people recommend abload? I hate abload. I dunno what it is but most of the time the links will load fine in a thread, I'll be like "whoa cool I should send this to a buddy," I copy the URL and send it to them, and they're like "uh there's no picture." It sends you to a 1x1 image error page. Every time I want to share anything from abload I have to re-upload it to imgur.
Which is extremely easy by the way, you don't have to click "upload image" or anything. You can literally copy/paste on the main page, no account required. Go to imgur.com, ctrl+v, right click image to copy URL. Don't know where OP is getting these hoops they think they have to jump through.

I'm not 100% sure but as far as I know there's no expiration.
I just checked some old thread I used Noelshack on back in 2012 (Noelshack was created that year) and the images still load.
I don't know if it's different on mobile or something, but on desktop you can just drag and drop on the main page and it'll immediately upload. It doesn't say as much anywhere, but I just tried it and it works fine.

Is anyone willing to pay for a reliable image host with a good UX? If so, what is it worth to you?

For Android, I'm still using imgur 1.4.13. I didn't like how it became so annoying to upload images after versions.

I use Cubeupload, personally.
Five megabyte limit per image though.

Right clicking still works just fine. You have to wait for the green progress bar to finish, then its just to right click on the picture and copy the link to the picture. I just tested it, no problem. If you try to do this before the progress bar is done, it wont work.
Bullshit, I tried to upload some 1440p screenshots and Imgur ruined them. Unless this is a really recent change, in which case good for them.

Imgur is still great for me. It's still drag and drop....there are no hoops.

Lol. Some folks take their image hosting serious.

Ditto Pyromaniac. Still fine for me. I have a menu at extension that i can drag and drop onto for quick uploading and hosting. It's all I need.
At least it's not minus.

Me too, and all I ever did is shitpost with zero intentions of making it to the front page.I'm glorious on imgur, so.....imgur.
I think it's actually been a while since it's been months since they've allowed PNGs.
1.5 MB jpeg on Imgur
Same upload on abload.de.
Imgur is pretty great to me. I've had an account there for a while and I keep all my uploads organized.
Abload is great if you want a classic, traditional (and anonymous) image uploader.

The Imgur is a 160KB smaller in filesize. See an brightened difference comparison from PS.
According to Imgur's help:
Edit: guess you edited but still relevant info. And many upload PNGs all the time to imgur. For OTs and the avatar thread for example.
What can I say. I flip between both pictures on a 42 inch screen I really can't see a single difference. In any case, it's absolutely nothing like how it was before where the macroblocks literally screamed at you.
I guess since I haven't uploaded images over 5MB I didn't get hit by their compression algorithm. Good to know there are some limits, thanks.
Yeah, they really screwed themselves with this move. I can't figure out how to edit image size through the app either. So if I take a screenshot with my phone it's either share the whole image in 2k or upload to my PC, edit it and then upload to imgur. Nightmare.
Do you have an Android phone?
You can just use google "Photos" app (has a 🌈-colored pinwheel icon) edit the image and then crop it.
Alternatively, you can use "Snapseed" on both iOS or Android to do the same thing but there are a few more 'taps' required to do the cropping.

Can't even save gifs or regular images on my phone anymore. Tried to save one 5 times last night and it either became an unplayable MP4 file or a borked gif that appeared as a file but didn't exist.
That's for files. Images don't expire.
Even if you have an account, I couldn't find a way to upload shit lol. Wtf is with all the image hosting sites going to shit after a couple years.
Yeah I noticed this yesterday. Definitely not going to download an app just so I can upload.
Have gone through so many uploaders over the years.
I use postimage.io. Don't know if it's the best but I haven't had issues unless I want to upload a huge gif or something (limit is 8 Mo I believe).
Abload is good too.

I hate abload.de
Whenever I try to link in a chat or something, their side shows up as 404 when they click the link unless they copy and paste the link into their browser.

Bandwidth cost and them all wanting to start off with no or minimal ads and with no revenue paths. Eventually leads them all towards being more than just hosting to find any revenue path they can signing up users
That's fine it just usually seems to coincide with their main service going to shit.
