- lylejantzi3rd 4y agoThat's been true for the past 10 years. What's changed? edit: They sold to Medialab in 2021. That's what's changed.
- djkoolaide 4y agoFor a long time now, imgur simply hasn't worked for me unless I whitelist JS for medialab and a bunch of other 3rd-party domains. Even direct image links get hijacked back to the tracking-infested page. Good riddance, imgur, you won't be missed.

- thinkingemote 4y agoYour edit is the most illuminating on this entire thread. We have some notion that websites are static bodies that don't change, and look for outside societal reasons for some unexpected change where it's often the most commonly found cause. Imgur stopped existing in 2021 and it became part of Medialab. (Medialab also own kik and whisper)
- Beaver117 4y agoWhy do advertisers shy away from porn? It's not like iPhone owners don't watch it so what's the problem with Apple putting their ads next to a pair of boobs once in a while?

Because porn sites profit off CSAM, sex trafficking and revenge porn, why would Coca Cola or Disney want to be associated with that?
