The features that require Imgflip Pro cost the site extra time/money to create, run and/or maintain.

One idea I've suggested before would be offering more options for Imgflip Pro, where users have more choices on what they want to pay for.

But still, most of the updates we've had lately mainly benefit pro users, and not us free users. Each update, we free users barely get anything, it doesn't seem like an update to us

Users don't have to pay for Imgflip Pro. Pro is great for not having an imgflip.com watermark or for creating longer/bigger gifs.

On the other hand, if users want to add extra watermarks to a shorter/smaller gif, that's free!

I understand that you need money. I don’t usually say this, but maybe you could add more ads, then lessen the price of pro accordingly.

One of the reasons I say this is because a user speculates that adding spacing to GIFs will be a pro exclusive.

the conundrum imgflip is in, is that its a website made by ppl who need money, and full of teenagers who probably dont have a bank account

If you were here a little longer than a month, you would have seen the changes, improvements, new features (most underutilized), etc that have appeared here. For free.
The latest is access to a gazillion fonts, again, underused.

Yeah but lately they haven't added anything for free users (also havent the fonts been a thing for like a year now?)

I mean, other than standard Impact and Arial fonts.
The "Google Free Fonts" and "Recent Fonts" started what, last month?

Go to any other site, and see what options there are, or rather, simply aren't.
The site is free and far better than others. People work hard to privide it, many are doing it for free.
Enjoy it and be thankful.

I don't actually care if they add more stuff actually, the sites fine with the feature it has now and the community will keep it alive without updates

I have been on here a while I just don't usually have any reason to change the fonts so I just don't really notice them
0 ups, 2y
Nobody actually gives a shit about the fonts. Everyone uses Impact or Arial anyway.

Of course you have.

So you HAVE seen the changes - one I myself am responsible for discovering and they developing afterwards from a glitch into a feature?

Not many tbh.
0 ups, 2y
Then why do you want more for free when you ain't even noticing them to begin with?

Site doesn't run for free. Be thankful for the features that are, even though you are only aware of the really few that aren't.

Yeah why not hire advertisers? I'm sure people would like to apply. There's even a stream about fan-made ads.

You see, I wouldn't mind it for the most part
except the new update, which locked out colors (something else as well with icons) from non-pro users

How they supposed to make money??

There’s no paywall N-ig-ga.

If this was a bad thing to say “say You and no one else, teehee”.
