Went to browse imgur today in my browser, and this pop-up appears when trying to swipe past the first post. There is no way around it that I can see. Looks like the only way to access content is now via the app.

So I guess in not using it anymore.. (Also, ironic first post).

Amusingly, at some point there was a user base in that site that would criticize people who posted random images that got shared out on other sites. You could randomly find hate comments on your posts if you used it without adding any context

How bizarre.

Oh, I recall. At the time there was an option of posting as "public" (which would appear on the Imgur feed) and "private" (which just gives you a link to use for other sites), and people would post all kinds of things to "public", including passport photos and personal stuff.
