    I wish people would stop using imgur. It’s entirely unnecessary for posting single images. Also, I use noscript and the number of external websites imgur loads scripts from tripled sometime last year, and now it doesn’t even work to display a single image unless you enable who-knows-what sites (most sites, it’s easy to tell which ones are necessary - for imgur, it isn’t). Even worse it flashes the image and then it disappears without JS enabled for whatever domains it needs. So people using imgur is enabling all sorts of ad tech/privacy invasion companies to track whoever clicks on their photo, for no real reason.

          What’s the likelihood of them sticking around? There were plenty of image sharing sites before imgur but they were not reliable to last.
