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.

We knew. The situation is the opposite-- external users did not understand the interface and constantly posted things that were meant to be private onto the public feed.

That issue exists because of the community that spawned on top of what was built just to be a utility. Not the people using it for its original intended purpose.
