You use the picfinfinity link, and picinfinity grabs one of the links it has for that image. Nothing is stored on picinfinity, it just keeps a memory of where it put everyone's images, and checks periodically to make sure they're still there. If not, it prioritizes another link to another image host.
This time it seems like imgoat was the first pick.

But it still is a single point at risk of failure. Granted, since it doesn't host, it is less likely to be forced to quit, it still is vulnerable to technical complications. And since the user doesn't know where Pic has stored the files, they are inaccessible to the user, practically lost. Given that, they are a step better than a single host.
