Ancient in a convenient, all-included package, yes. It's like serving videos yourself or embedding youtube/wistia/vimeo... The quick and performant way has value for some.

Mea culpa on the title... Tech is not new, but the convenience layer on top is. Everything is taken care of.

Yeah pretty much the same idea, but not the same packaging. If you just want to quickly add a big pic in your blog and are no dev (noob here) this is everything you need. Same choice as embedding a youtube/wistia/vimeo or hosting and streaming it yourself I guess.
