postimages.org WARNING --

Uploading a photo to postimages today (1/13/26), I came to the Proceed page.
When I clicked on Proceed I was redirected to another site and
this box appeared —

Looks suspicious.
I Did Not Follow its direction. I first closed the smaller white box which said "Please Download and Install Opera Safe Browser to continue watching in safe mode!"
Then closed the tab at the top my screen labeled "A Browser Update".
Then Proceeded as usual.
Stupid postimages.

That was on the iphone, where Safari has the fewest extensions to block garbage.

Been using postimages (less these days), imgbb.com and lately 8upload.com

The latter is the quickest and easiest for me.

Until it isn't.

It's called enshittification.

Cory Doctorow coined it.
