If you check the src of the image on the hive.blog, its shows (src="images.hive.blog/640x0/https: //i.imgur.com/bQeAgSf.jpg"), where the imgur image is proxied from images.hive.blog.

Ah okay. Cheers. Interesting as it limits options a bit. Once upon a time on Steem, image upload didn't work, which is why I got an imgur account in the first place.

That's true, but I think it should not have been done like that. It's better to directly reference the image from the original source instead of having a burden on Hive servers.

If you upload high resolution photos, and someone is scrolling through their feed on mobile data, downloading those photos is going to consume a large portion of their bandwidth. Proxying them through [images.hive.blog](https://images.hive.blog) allows the hive front-ends to reduce the size of an image when it's previewed, saving you huge amounts of bandwidth.

The proxy also supports changing the image format. This is necessary because not every device/browser supports all image formats. That way you don't have to care about browser compatibility when you upload a picture, because the proxy will do so instead.
