An image hosting site seems like one of those applications that are easier than ever to build but impossible to monetize.

Most people who use imgur just hotlink - what's the incentive for a company to buy or start a new imgur?

Same as Imgur. The current image hosting sites suck and you know you can do better

Then it works and you need to pay the bills

10 years later you sell it and some new guy makes one

add ads to pictures... that's what everyone else is doing
