Yeah Reddit needed to decide it should not be at the whim or mercy of some other service when there is a disagreement over content policy.

Yeah, the motivation was fairly straightforward. And it wasn’t just that one sub that was causing problems like that.

It only made sense that they would eventually start hosting their own images, especially after they realize they could monetize it.
