The value of imgur isn’t really in being able to upload images there, it’s access to all the images uploaded from the rest of the world. Especially historical uploads, say, a turorial or a travel log using imgur as reliable image host. Locally created and operated british website aimed at brits makes sense when it’s local news or local services or whatever. Local image hosting site that serves only (primarily?) brits seems of very questionable utility unless you somehow become a big hub for outsiders… at least until $other_country demands UK stop tracking their children or whatever excuse they’ll use.
