imgur is not almost as bad as conventional image hosts. I guess you haven't used any conventional ones lately that block the image after bandwidth exceeded? Also, most of the other ones are even more spammy than imgur. Imgur still allows direct linking of the image and has less ads than most of the competition.
- doughj3 13y agoWell, they kind of still allow direct linking[0] and they also no longer provide the direct link after upload. [0] http://minimaxir.com/2014/02/moved-temporarily/ http://minimaxir.com/2014/02/moved-temporarily/
- NoodleIncident 13y agoBlagh. I want to be mad at imgur for this behavior, but I can't bring myself to. Is it really bad to show people, once, what site they're being linked to? The whole "no ads, direct links" has always been framed as a thing imgur does to be nice, and in return reddit likes them. Does it matter if people who've never been to imgur before see the site once instead of a direct link?
