TinyPic alternative?

So, my Avatar came up "funny" today.
I was wondering what's going on so I went to the TinyPic website, only to see this:
TinyPic is shutting down

Due to an inability to support a high-quality free digital service that derives 100% of its revenue from ever declining on-site revenues, TinyPic will be permanently shutting down on September 9, 2019. Because we want to give you as much notice and information as possible during our transition, please carefully review the following information.
Any recommendations to put my avatar to?
Must be free (and that includes spam).

For now, I just uploaded it here, but I worry it might inflate hosting fees.

Thank you!

But some of countries block it for "profanities", like Turkey.

Just Erdogan things, even reddit is blocked.

"Sites that defame or insult Turkish leaders are often censored, as are any news or social media sites reporting on certain political issues. The government is increasingly willing to temporarily or permanently restrict access to sites and apps in times of domestic crisis, including VoIP and messaging services."

That's terrible. Censorship sucks
