Hey! I've already done two AMAs, so I'm not sure if a third would even be very interesting since almost everything has been covered before.
In regards to your question, you might be giving me too much credit :) Imgur was a project I was working on in my spare time while I was an undergrad. I picked an image host because, at the time, reddit was having a lot of trouble posting images -- they'd always get taken down and replaced with a yellow frog or a "upgrade to pro" message. When I released it on reddit, I really had no plans for it, but it very quickly grew into something huge. About 6 months later, Imgur LLC was officially created and has since become my full time job.
