Strange thing is that photo albums re relatively new. Imgur was the go-to host for Reddit, and then they made their own uploader a looong time later. The "albums" functionality only came out in July of 2020, according to a Google search.

However the school debt card used a signed integer to allow for small negative balances. Well students uncovered the flaw and had their cards be at negative 1 dollar, which the vending machine read as a very large balance.
