Or rate limited.
- koolala 1y agostats say this image got 500 views. imgur is much much more populated than HN
- superkuh 1y agoIn 2015, yes. In 2025? Probably not. Imgur is enshittifying rapidly since reddit started it's own image host. Lots of censorship and corporate gentrification. There's still some hangers on but it's a small group. 15 comments on imgur is a lot nowadays.
- Anon1096 1y agoThis is what Imgur shows to blacklisted IPs. You probably have a VPN on that is blocked.
- croemer 1y agoUgh, why lie to users... Just say the IP is blacklisted. Thanks for the tip btw.
- hk__2 1y agoBecause when you know it’s blacklisted you might try with a different IP, whereas if you don’t you will just wait (forever).
- lucb1e 1y agoImagine we wouldn't tell criminals the law because they might try to find holes... This is just user-hostile and security through obscurity. If someone on HN knows that this is what is shown to banned people then so will the people that scrape or mean harm to imgur
