"For some reason I keep getting DMCA notices from all kinds of lawyers and the occasional take down notice from police when ISIS videos are uploaded there. No income and tons of complaints."
Everyone I have shown Oh By[1] to has immediately wondered "Oh, could you upload an image instead of text ?". The answer is no and will always be no, for these reasons.
It's evident right here on HN - limiting people to text weeds out a lot of the children/griefers/criminals.
I'm kinda curious whether one could "use" your service to upload 4k chunks of a base64 encoded image (perhaps by hitting the shortener using curl)...seems doable from a first glance?
Maybe you have something in place to prevent that?
If not - then I can envision an API of sorts that you could feed an image to, chunk it out, get the codes, then do the reverse...
...the thing is, if I can see this possibility - somebody else likely has long before me (I'd hope).
