Image Hosting Site Recommendations?

Howdy'all ...

Several of our eldest posters here have used various image storing sites over the years.

Does anyone have strong feelings, reviews, suggestions for specific sites?

Do said sites work well with blog platforms like wordpress.com etc?

I've been forced over the years to move away from trying to self-host everything and could use some RI braintrust juice help in cogitating on this.

I use kiwi6 for mp3s that I want to share, but don't want to put on my soundcloud or make a youtube video for. Can upload images if I want, as well. Been using them for a few years, haven't had any problems. 2GB free space, can upgrade to more if necessary.

http://kiwi6.com/get_started

For "get started," only need to verify email address to begin uploading. Don't need to worry about "following ten artists" or "upvoting any tracks." I've never even searched around the site at all, just use it purely for uploading and sharing.

Allow me to demonstrate. I just uploadedesu a jpg there. Took a few seconds, I getted a hotlink:

Works fine here.

That's my experience. Every few years I search for a new free hosting site, for one reason or another. I like the no-frills format of this one. I remember photobucket being slow and clunky feeling. I don't need thumbnails or editing tools, I do all that in photoshop.
