This is almost certainly to appeal to investors and advertisers who don't want to associated with porn in any way, which means they are probably almost burned out of their phat stackz of VC cash, and have entered "We dont have a business model, so lets do stupid poo poo until we are RAKING IN THE BIG BUCKS"

Its obviously not a morality issue, because they stood behind Reddit when it was openly promoting and hosting some truely disgusting crap like jailbait, there is no chance this isn't purely about investor money.

Turns out the underpants gnome model of profitable internet company is still not viable, even in 2019.

I suggest you get everything you care about off Imgur NOW, before it gets nuked or restricted and we get the next collective internet memory wipe.

Considering they have about as viable a business model as every other image host, you can be sure its coming.

This case of an intraperitoneal zucchini is unusual, and does raise questions as to how hard one has to push a blunt vegetable to perforate the rectum.

Imgur, the place with jailbait memes and white supremacy on their front page with memes is having financial problems?!?!?!

Lmao I applied to imgur when they were looking for a way to monetize and gamify their services
