  1. The deletion, from what I've heard, was preceded by publishing the image to the imgur community. If that step is removed, then that shouldn't be a problem.

  2. I honestly don't care who is throwing money at it as long as I can have direct links and not see ads. If someone wants to be the patron of lost causes they can go ahead.

  3. > Or advise people to not use direct links (a decent chunk)/adblock for the non-imgur site.

What's your plan if your site gains traction and big subreddits like r/donald decide its their favourite and they direct link to your site 95% of the time?
