> TL;DR No reddit, no front page content on imgur.
With the number of image macro posts that are on the reddit front page at any given point, I'd say their relationship is pretty symbiotic. Without imgur, I'd argue that reddit loses a significant number of their highest viewed posts, and vice-versa. Reddit would certainly have content in their smaller subreddits, but their largest ones (AdviceAnimals, funny, pics, etc.) would be ghost towns without imgur.

- valarauca1 12y agoReddit can live without imgur, and has lived without imgur. Its imgur who still needs reddit.
- skeletonjelly 12y agoNot since the site exploded in numbers. I'd wager someone else will take up the challenge though, just like Alan did.
