The biggest problem with imgur is that their mobile site is slow and sluggish as hell.

On my Moto G2 loading and rendering even a single image takes way longer than it should be so I guess there is a lot of "beautiful" Javascript hackery going on in the background doing who-knows-what.

My money is on the JavaScript for the stupid ass swipe left/right functionality and cat paw.

The same functionality that loves to go off when I'm scrolling down on an album and lose my position.

The cat paw is absolutely obnoxious. It's funny that a service that started to get rid of all the crappy image hosts would do that.

I can understand the redirect to a page with ads, and even showing unrelated images. But the cat paw... what in hell.

Especially since it only shows up when you're directly linked to a single image or album. Even worse, it seems to link only to unrelated content.
