| Composes with | 50 images/hour x 50 MB = 2.5 GB/hour per IP, x multiple Client-IDs x multiple accounts. ~1.2 TB/month/IP at the hourly cap if you actually sustain it |

| Reliability | the big one: Imgur has purged anonymous/unviewed content in past cleanup rounds and the 50-per-hour cap is enforced per IP; recompression means you cannot treat it as a byte store at all |
