Why not? It's public space. Everyone has a right to have their own front door to the "information superhighway". Something useful could be put there. It's cheap and easy. In the 90s nearly everyone had an option to have a website hosted by their ISP. Many people did. I DID do that back in the 1990's! ;-) Today it seems that young people, especially, think of the Web as a commercial entertainment venue. As with so many cities in the US, the town square has been supplanted by a mall. If people must host images on commercial sites they could at least use sites that allow others to access the image without restrictions, cookies, script, membership, etc. Three I know of that work fine are dropboxusercontent links, imgur.com and postimg.org. Many thanks for your comments, Mayayana. :-) I've used Dropbox and imgur.com but not postimg.org I decided to try the latter. Here's a small treat! http://postimg.org/image/tmohcby0r/ That site wanted to set 6 cookies. Is that a BAD thing, Ed? The recommendation of those sites was made in the context of "If people must host images on commercial sites they could at least use sites that allow others to access the image without restrictions, cookies, script, membership, etc." Did you actually see the photograph?
