imgur has had voting, comments and it's own little community for a while now. It could cannibalize the image macro based subreddits (like /r/pics /r/funny) which drive so much traffic to reddit.
imgur is also not getting as much money as it could from reddit because links are posted directly to content bypassing the ads.
I wonder how much longer the synergistic relationship will continue to exist.
- harvestmoon 13y agoIf Reddit banned imgur, that would be very bad for it. They banned Quickmeme, which decimated its traffic.
- DavidBradbury 13y agoQuickmeme was banned because they were manipulating the voting system. I don't think imgur would or needs to do that.
