Nostr images can be hosted on any web server including your own.

Public service image hosting will not be forever free. To be sustainable they should charge tiny amounts of sats to guarantee quality of service.

This arrangement is very capitalist and properly aligns incentives to enable a decentralized network to be sustainable.

There needs to be a NIP for clients to support hosted media on nostr. You should be able to just specify a compliant hosting service in your client, or host your own. The NIP could specify a simple interface for uploading media and returning a URL.
