I remember when imgur was created as a fast, no login-pushing, non-scummy alternative to ad-ridden clickjacking hosts that censored nsfw and controversial content.

Then it became all of that on steroids except with a comment section and a weird community that didn’t realize they were living in the plumbing of other platforms like Reddit.

It was always obvious that imgur being a service that just provided image hosting and asked nothing was unsustainable.

I'm impressed they ever managed to turn it into something.
