The "direct links" only ever redirect to the non-direct version on mobile for me. Doesn't happen on desktop though.

- finnn 10y agoI get redirected to the shitty ad page even on my desktop now.
- stordoff 10y agoI've seen the direct links get redirected to the non-direct page on desktop. It appears to still happen if, e.g., the link is on Twitter - random example https://twitter.com/SilentRENE/status/735732252877819904 https://twitter.com/SilentRENE/status/735732252877819904 (seems to be inconsistent - first time I was redirected, but now it goes directly to the image. Opening the Twitter page in another browser also resulted in a redirect)
- rplnt 10y agoI think they redirect to imgur page also when they are shared on facebook. And aside from that, years back, they've been banning embedding on certain domains.
- billmalarky 10y agoIt depends if the referrer header is set to reddit. Try clicking a direct link from facebook or twitter.
