When are businesses going to learn about the Streisand effect? The more you try to hide something on the internet, the more it surfaces.

Also note how much of this is censorship strictu sensu. It's an entity with power to dictate what you can/can't say on a platform, silencing criticism in that platform. (Or at least trying to. Eh.)

For people who want other image hosting services: catbox.moe is a good option IMO.

Anybody can give me context?

Imgur is a hellhole

Imgur has been of zero relevance to me since they decided to block VPNs.

They have such an awful mobile website. Like, every time I go on there because I’m looking for a picture that is apparently there, the page is full of unintuitive interactions. Like I’ll try and scroll down and it will suddenly redirect me away from the page, or I’ll tap on something to select it and suddenly the it’s showing me “similar images”

It reeks of desperation to keep people on their site.
