Do you (ie @Steempeak) use the Steemitimages service ? At least the high res originals still seem to be stored there and it seems to be the local caching on steemit.com they have smashed. It might be the best thing to happen to the alternative front ends as it will drive users over.

@intrepidphotos yes, we use steemitimages to serve images. But we always store originals pictures uploaded using steempeak on our cloud storage, so we can work on alternative solution if we get to the point of not being able to use steemitimages anymore ;)

Sounds like a sensible approach.
