We had the same problem very early on and no money in the bank. The cost per GB on appengine image serving is too high. Maybe it tries to include the image resizing service fee or be a balance for many apps that don't have social traffic. Social networks are expensive.
We migrated to maxcdn which I thought wasn't top tier. Then we migrated to akamai and their admin tools were super outdated, for example no support for spdy or http2. So, we came back to maxcdn and are happy with the decision. We paid $3k for 150TB of maxcdn traffic. You can see that's probably 10x cheaper than blobstore serving.
