hasnt this already been solved with cdns? even if you just use it for the image hosting.

shit costs money. cant imagine wanting to stand up a server/instance/whatevs with no hosting costs.

Not no hosting cost, but cost for things you don't want or need. I would host a server if it only filled up with things on my direct server and not pulling images and posts from other servers
