everyone sells out eventually. nothing wrong with it. either that or they run it into the ground or die.

people move on that's just life. congrats to the imgur team and good luck for their next adventures.

Not everyone, but it’s definitely rare. Feels good to believe that everyone sells out though when you’re in the process of selling out.

You don't need to sell out if you can create a service or product that people are willing to pay money for - even indirectly. Granted, this is certainly a difficult feat to pull on a free image hosting site.

Hmm, as far as I can see you either sell out, or get sold out to. The last one seems like a viable option?
