I see what you mean. In that case someone just has to report it to their abuse department. Eventually someone will locate the offensive image and trace it back to imgur. Even if they can't immediately see it, they can see the abuse reports and investigate.
It's a hard life running an image uploading service. You have to wonder how much they're being payed in ad revenue.
- BiteCode_dev 5y agoI doubt most of the money comes from ad revenues. More likely, they get more cash from invisible PR campaigns, it's the same goal as ads, but more efficient since imgur user base think the content they see is 100% organic. And so probably sells for a lot more to bigger players.
- croshan 5y agoI think a big portion actually comes from image-hosting for other websites. Stack exchange, for example, uses Imgur for image hosting when you attach an image with your answer.
