waterbear, also known as wuploads or buploads, is a planned media hosting service that would allow users to upload media of their choosing that may be embedded into posts on wasteof.money, but may also become something that'll be reusable for other projects. It's not intended to be a replacement for the other currently availabe media hosting providers, those being ImgBB and cubeupload, but rather just another option to pick from.

Like wombat, waterbear also has its own mascot, a brown grizzly bear holding a glass of water. Originally, the mascot was a polar bear swimming with a scuba mask on, but the current look of the mascot was favored more instead.[1][2] The design was created and finalized on, July 28th, 2023.

Earlier revisions of the mascot are shown below:

The fifth revision is almost identical to the current design, except with less fluff.
