    Every other service puts some BS UI around the file link.

    For now, all the others started with image only links. Then the costs creeped up and they needed a way to monitize the links.

      Catbox has been operating for at least 8 years and has a clearly defined server cost + donation plan through their FAQ+Patreon, which also notes that they are happy to front any extra costs that the Patreon doesn’t cover. I’m going to guess they’d rather shut the site down than start serving ads.
