What was the best time OP delivered?

[–]Nick4753 14 points 5 years ago* I sent this as a PM but this is a good reference for future people with image hosting plans:

after doing a bit of research into creating my own image hosting site I'll elaborate

These image hosting sites are probably the worst laid out business plans in existence... they cost big cash to host, you barely (if you are lucky) make your costs back plus a bit of cash for the time you spend responding to DMCA complaints, and no matter how innocent your intentions, you cannot keep it up unless you are willing to throw down serious $$$ for the correct setup

I'm in the webhosting industry and have access to basically the lowest bandwidth prices possible and even at our cost there is not enough $$$ in creating an image hosting site when the market is already saturated with other sites... I'm going to be 100% upfront, here is how this is going to end: over a few months it will either bankrupt you and you will have a bunch of pissed off users who cannot access their pictures or who, if you do manage to stay alive for awhile, posted their 500KB animated-gifs to forums and complain when their image is the last to load on the page because your servers are overloaded or you simply couldn't afford to buy enough bandwidth.

Imageshack has razor-thin margins and they have to put popups and 10,000 other advertisements on their pages and you are basically starting a site where a good percentage of your targeted end users use adblock and will not provide you with ANY revenue

oh, and when you get really popular and have a lot of views, your bandwidth bill comes at the end of the month but your (hopefully) increased revenue from advertising won't land in your bank account for 1-3 months. And you cannot rely on Google Adsense. The moment they detect that one of their ads showed up next to an image that violates their terms of service, even if you remove it immediately, they will cut you off and you will be stuck finding advertisers who are willing to put up with problems like that.

Wow, he was really really off...
