What I want is a reliable single point for image hosting that respects free speech.
Well that's what pic8 does for free by using a large list of hosts, your pics will always be available, the only downside is that you can't have private upload.
They also don't have accounts. Saving a bunch of URLs is a pain in the ass and it's needlessly wasteful to have to upload images more than once. That's why pic8 is pretty much useless to me.

Are you talking about pic8? Because when you submit an image, it automatically does that in the background. You don't have to upload the image several times.
Yes, I am talking about them.
You have two choices, upload it multiple times or keep track of the URLs somehow.
I like to post images more than once, often months apart when it's relevant again. There's no account function on pic8, meaning you'll need to keep track of the URLs or upload it multiple times - every time you want to use it again, you'll need to upload it again (unless you maintain a list of URLs that say what the image is).
