imgur has gone to shit as well. I'd imagine the trend is happening across most sites with surveillance as their business model.
I also don't understand why discussion of this topic rarely touches on adversarial interoperability? Explicitly published and versioned APIs are a nicety. If companies are going to choke them, then why not just use the same API the web interface uses rather than paying the Danegeld?
- guraf 3y agoThat error happens because your browser is broken. I had the same issue because my image viewer assumed i.imgur would always serve images but they've recently been serving redirections and html (presumably to force people to see ads).
- mindslight 3y agoThe obtuse message seems to be Firefox's fault, but even with Chromium or wget I just get an HTTP 429. "Too many requests" from an IP I have exclusive use of, which hasn't tried to access imgur in days. No, the site is just broken because some business knob decided that breaking the site might help revenue.
