This solution works for some, but for many users it's a horrible idea. Not everyone in the world has the bandwidth to host images for their followers. Could you imagine having a viral note and having it bring down your home Internet connection or costing you money if you have a metered connection? Sorry honey, my meme is doing really well, we can't use the Internet for the rest of the day. Either that or the image just won't load for your followers giving them a bad experience.

I understand the need for this and I commend you on wanting to make your service into a service that everyone runs, but I don't think it's doable for the majority of people in the world based on current ISP configurations that most people use.
Bandwidth restrictions aside, there's also technical hurdles too with routing, SSL certificates, and using services such as Cloudflare to keep your home or business IP address safe. The vast majority of people just will not do this. Technical people will though.
It's a good solution for tech savvy folks, but the masses need something else.
