In the past when it came to controversial/illegal content, you've stood on the premise of "we aren't hosting the content, just pointing to it." Does this meaningfully change your content strategies and/or policies?

Is there a planned retention policy? Or is it an "as long as reddit has the money to maintain the servers the images will stay forever" kind of deal?

Some random questions - apologies if these are asked & answered elsewhere (or are blindingly obvious if you use the feature on a desktop!)
What's the copyright deal when uploading to 'reddit images'? (Can they (offically) be republished by others? By Reddit?)
What's the copyright deal if you get complaints (I.e. a company says it's their picture? What if the uploader disagrees?)
Can images only be viewed via Reddit.com or are you planning a twitter cards style embedded situation etc?
You said images will be deleted if the post is deleted. Can you delete the image separately from the post?
Do you do any smart "this is the same image as that" duplicate managing - if so what happens if one post is deleted?

Any support for keyboard shortcuts when navigating through galleries? Makes it much easier for one-handed navigation.
You know, in case of severe injury.

Seems like this will be pretty costly to maintain. With big increases to expenses, what's Reddit's plan to increase revenue correspondingly?

How does Reddit have the bandwidth capability for this when it barely has it for the normal text demand from its users? I don't want to see the Reddit unable to connect message more than the usual 3 or 4 times a day.

Well, I'd like to give some feedback.
From this submission I made about a photo I took in Japan[1]: the original[2], and the compressed rehost used for the thumbnail[3]. Notice the way dialed down yellow, for instance.

2: https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/628/20975913259_25518948e3_k.jpg
By the way, I never permitted that rehost when submitting a flickr image to /r/pics. I'm not annoyed that it was rehosted, I'd just like there to be a heads up when that happens. And I'd prefer for the color fidelity to be at least somewhat more similar.
Beyond that, thanks for the image hosting service. It's neat to see that the hosting will be done at reddit instead of the typical imgur. Their pushing the imgur app to mobile users has been quite annoying.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
edit: for those interested: here's the full size, uncompressed image[4] (direct link[5]) - Flickr does a great job of hosting images at full resolution but can be a bit annoying to navigate.

As long as using the direct image link is standard, I like this. I hate browsing non-direct Imgur links on my phone.
