once upon a time imgur was the best of the best. It was simple, fast, ad-free, and not trying to be a social media platform. And now if you use adblock most of the time it doesnt matter but there have been various points in time where it would do the "pwease disable ur adblocker" type thing and my god i just checked to make sure its fine with an adblocker and they sure are leaning heavily on being a social platform huh wow. it has games now.

but yeah for a lot of ppl as soon as they started being weird about adblock and pushing meme generators in your face that was sign to jump ship because it was only gonna get worse from there and the sooner you find good alternatives the better bc otherwise when the whole thing becomes an unusable bloated mess to appease the VC funders youll be left scrambling.

in short: ive seen this happen many times before, and imgur is walking a dark path.
