I've seen the direct links get redirected to the non-direct page on desktop.

It appears to still happen if, e.g., the link is on Twitter - random example https://twitter.com/SilentRENE/status/735732252877819904 (seems to be inconsistent - first time I was redirected, but now it goes directly to the image. Opening the Twitter page in another browser also resulted in a redirect)

I think they redirect to imgur page also when they are shared on facebook.

And aside from that, years back, they've been banning embedding on certain domains.
