The reality is that the bigger a website/service gets, the more money it costs to run. Something like imgur especially would cost absurd amounts of money to run. If it can’t be monetised then it will die. The same thing will happen to any competitors that pop up claiming to be better - it’s just the nature of business. Hosting and bandwidth and hardware and employees aren’t free.
The same will happen with fediverse instances if they ever get big enough………
