Imgur is wobbling. Any viable European alternative to shill? (sh.itjust.works)

Basically the title. People are currently upset with Imgur for layoffs or something and instead of doing the sensible thing of stopping it's use, they're flooding it. Seems like a good opportunity to shill an european alternative if it exists.

Call me ignorant, but I never understood how hosting images is profitable. At all. Even if you can pull of the technological part of it.

And if the key is ads, it's the same problem all over again, because the profitable ad managers are US companies too.

And otherwise, just use the fediverse? Any image you upload here, you can link to anywhere and it serves the same purpose?

I use random little sites as needed but I have no idea where they're hosted. I'm talking about easily usable alternative for the general public.
