Images from the front page of reddit are autopromoted to the front page of imgur.

One of the reason I like imgur: it's Reddit without the Reddit UI or redditors.

Fair enough. If Reddit is what works for you then rock it. Regarding the imgur community, I personally think they are a little too tryhard and silly, myself.

But I don't go there for the community. All I want are the best of the funny, amusing and interesting images the Internet can generate, served up in a never ending stream. After a long day of reading, coding, emailing, and everything else, the last thing I want to do is navigate yet another wall of grey on white text.

Imgur is pure brain candy in that sense. No thinking, no real discussion, no need to look at comments or interact with the users. Just flip awww, kitty flip hey boobs flip neat!
