> "direct" links to an image uploaded sometimes/usually redirect to imgur page

Actually I like this. It's so stupid that people directly link to the image - I'm always interested in reading the imgur comments, and especially the text comment by the uploader.

Anecdotally, you are the first person I've ever seen say this.

Most people I've seen vastly prefer direct links, since all they want is the image content.

It's likely significant that I mostly encounter imgur links via reddit, which of course has its own comments/community.
