Over the years as the internet aged, the dominance of certain image hosters increased and decreased. I remember about ten years ago the most popular hosting service was photobucket and imageshack. Before that I don't know what people used but if you remember, that would be cool to know. After photobucket I used primarily min.us and then it got shut down and I switched to imgur. Imgur is currently my main image sharing site however I also use Google photos for my personal and family type photos. Previously I used Facebook for photo sharing amongst family and acquaintances but now it's easier to just send a Google link to a Google album which auto syncs with my phone rather than uploading everything to fb and sending it. I also frequently snapchat stuff that maybe 7 years ago would have been Facebook sharing worthy. I haven't really gotten into the whole Instagram thing so I can't tell y'all much about that

Anyway I have noticed that imgur no longer feels like the dominant internet image sharing site like it did 5 years ago and would like to know your opinions on the current best image sharer for forums and daily public /family use.

I use Greenshot for taking screen captures and it has Imgur integration so I mostly use that. Image hosting sites are mostly redundant because you can usually just paste stuff directly from your clipboard into most forms of media. I think places like these forums are the only real reason I still have to use it.

Oh I almost forgot but I have to use Twitter for Nintendo Switch screenshots I think.

sharex, the objectively best screenshot software, can upload albums right to imgur so that's what i do

its just so EASY

Screenshot software and image hosting sites kinda go hand in hand though, if Greenshot uploaded to anything that was not Imgur I really wouldn't mind, as long as the images kept being accessible (which is why I quit using Gyazo).

i understand there's a difference, it's just my preference is really only tied to a lack of knowledge on the world of image hosting and also the ease in which i can upload to imgur from just right clicking any image

that is, the two are TIED together in an unbreakable fashion

I feel imgur is still pretty dominate. I can't even think of any other ones to use right now that aren't 2009-2012 era. tinypic and imageshack are things I totally forgot about and
only remembering them now because of this thread.

I personally use imgur (because of sharex) I'll probably use imgur until the site goes down.

tinypic because your pictures will stay there for ten years minimum

#tinypic

can you elaborate? works fine for me
