Why people should stop using IMGUR - Frenzied - Feb 7, 2016

First of all, What I recommend using is:

VStanced

(I am not affiliated with this company in any way shape or form).



Why you shouldn't using imgur:


  • Has quality loss.

  • Has slow upload speeds.

  • Creates noise.





Proof of quality loss / Unwanted noise:

This is one of the main reasons why I have switched to uploading my images on my own server

Does someone else have any other image hosting service?

Quite interesting, i like how it lets me resize it so my posts don't stretch.

I personally recommend VStanced, however as long as you don't use IMGUR, it's all fine! :)

True, but what do you prefer? Noise or a simple code you can easily type? 🤝

Maybe it's me but I don't see any difference, I'll stick to imgur for now. But thanks ✌

Frenzied is a real, and I dont see the difference between the two picture, would you point it out for me? :)

Look at the price boxes, you'll see the difference.

The compression is unreal around all the text.

It almost looks like Imgur is using a compression similar to JPEG. That's a big no no, since JPEG uses its surroundings to compress, which looks really bad around text.

Just use a pomf clone and ShareX for maximum swag and convenience :DD

Pretty legit, school servers block imgur too, and I can see VStanced pictures on this school network!
