Imgur will also be deleting images that aren't associated with a user account. https://help.imgur.com/hc/en-us/articles/14415587638029/

> redirecting direct image links to their awful js-heavy reddit clone site Are you perhaps copying the wrong thing when trying to share? I've never had this happen. Even copying an image link from their homepage at the time of this post works as expected https://i.imgur.com/v052wgb.jpeg (some starwars cartoon) or https://i.imgur.com/VT1B7fn.mp4 (some cat with a pineapple)
Maybe you're stuck in some A/B control group type deal, because the same happens to me and the handful of people I've seen accessing imgur while screensharing. It's not a new development, I believe this has been the case since at least 2016. If visiting the page directly, we get served a HTML document with a billion resources that loads the image with a comment section beneath it, and includes a sidebar of "related"…

It's a problem on mobile, because old-reddit isn't mobile-engineered and there isn't uBlock for iOS. The go-to Reddit app for iOS is Apollo, and they're going to be affected. https://www.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/12ram0f/had_a_fe...
easy fix: switch to Android, a platform that allows users to chose what they want to do with the hardware they bought.
Tumblr 2.0 incoming? It's a not-so-unspoken fact that a lot of social media platforms are popular because they have tons of pornography. Reddit, Twitter, OnlyFans (more openly) and (until now) Imgur all have massive communities around explicit content. Even Twitch and YouTube are hugely successful as ways for OnlyFans creators to drive users to their explicit content. Going to be very interesting to see if imgur drop…
Reddit has also recently announced moves in regards to NSFW content[1] by limiting data access to mature content more aggressively than they currently do. It seems like an area a lot of platforms are struggling with and seem to opt for a complete ban. [1] https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit/comments/12qwagm/an_update_r...
For now old.reddit.com works to get rid of all this guff but when that goes, so do I.
How far have we come from "My Gift to Reddit: I created an image hosting service that doesn't suck."[0] I suppose it has lasted longer than anyone expected. [0] https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit.com/comments/7zlyd/my_gift_t...
It was cynical from the beginning: the author made the same post on Digg also, it just didn't take off there.

"Manufacture a consensus"?
OP is probably confusing it with "Manufacturing consent", a book by Noam Chomsky. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manufacturing_Consent

The new reddit is so bad I'm sort of shocked it still exists. I really wonder what goes through people's heads when they build these things that are universally hated.
Contempt. You generally don't make an ad-supported business if you respect your users as human beings, but the old -> new Reddit redesign is something really special - going through with it, and then sticking to it for so many years now, pretty much requires seeing your users as cattle .
> We don't want to create a bad experience for someone that might stumble across explicit images, nor is it in our company ethos to support explicit content, so some lascivious or sexualized posts are not allowed.
Hey Imgur! By banning NSFT you've create a bad experience for me and now I'm stumbled. Happy?
