I'm pretty sure it's not given our traffic is way down from back in those days and sites have much more bandwidth than they had. I think I remember a mod saying this but maybe I'm wrong.

...why? Actually don't answer that.

It still boggles my that an image hosting website has a "community." As you may have already guessed, it's garbage.

Imgur lets me a) upload images b) link to them directly without any bullshit. Those are the two things I require of an image host, and it does them.

It increasingly makes it harder to do a or b in their quest to be reddit

I think if you struggle to upload an image to imgur you're just bad at the internet. It's 2 entire buttons to upload and then a right click copy image location button push to share it.

The mobile version of imgur is a huge pain in the rear end. I just don't understand what they're trying to accomplish with that design.

it used to work fine, then it stopped working for a very long time (uploads would simply fail for no reason from mobile, not on desktop site), and now they changed it so there isn't an option to upload images ,it's only a front end for their social media platform. so you gotta use the desktop site

its run by morons

it's.... not. it's like how reddit doesn't have a community. they say it's a community to pat themselves on the back and feel good about following the herd but fundamentally the structure of the website and how it works means that no community can ever form

no actually

the entire upvoting system pretty much means that visibility is directly tied to popularity so any sort of "community" is going to have to be a vast majority of people who rarely get exposure from other members either in content or comment with a few people who lead them. like reddit hides posts that don't get upvotes and hides comments that don't get them either so it means that most things just arent visible. the handful of people who have figured out how to game the system to post lowest common denominator garbage to maximize votes and therefore visibility are the 'leaders' and pretty much everyone else is just blindly following them because they want visibility too and can never get it

people get excited for having posts with a lot of votes because normally they do not have any exposure at all. they are thousands of souls meekly speaking into a void and occasionally have moments of conversation where two people try and agree with each other to maximize upvotes, and sometimes they accidentally strike oil and the exposure of a few thousand upvotes drives them insane with hubris

its a very bad website, fundimentally

EDIT: wow thanks for all of the upvotes!!

edit 2: oh my god whoa it sstill coming! holy poo poo

EDIT 3: actually guys i'd like to let you know that my birthday is tomorrow so if you really want to give me some upvotes tomorrow while you're at it

It's not possible to access a direct image link on mobile for normal users on imgur for over a year now. It will be bought and made app-only and squeezed for pennies and killed.

I really like Puush since it's so simple and you can upload from the clipboard but it gets connection issues a lot and i think it deletes old stuff

Very useful though for almost instantly sharing screenshots

Last time there was a dearth of simple image hosting sites imgur came out and eventually became millionaires and now they're in the process of ruining their site just like tinypic or whatever did. Any yospos goons looking to be molillionaires should know what to do

For eBay and poo poo i use Dropbox. It will automatically put pictures you stick in a local folder online, and you can get shareable links. For general posting, puu.sh.

it does the former but no longer provides standalone direct links to images and its new interface makes it impossible to obtain links to images that aren't a minimum height

It's poorly programmed and likely runs gifs in the background lol. Or it's stealing your personal information idk
