Where do folks prefer to host their 3d models and designs? Do you use one site, or multiple?

I originally started on Thingiverse, but switched to Printables after it launched and that has been my main location for uploading to. I recently decided to copy all my models to Thingiverse and Thangs, in additional to Printables, but I'm not sure its worth the effort to maintain the listings on multiple sites.

I love the Printables site, I think it has the best user experience, but Thingiverse seems to reach a bigger audience. Thangs I find useful for the search, but I'm not sure its worth hosting models there as well.

Up to and including doxing someone because they publicly complained about Cults refusing to give them the money people have paid to download their creations.

Plus their sites runs like a bag of dicks.

So many gawdamned dicks.
