Pokémon GO: The Data Behind America’s Latest Obsession

If you look at Imgur for example you'll see two observations by users: 1) It's amazing and 2) They have server issues. Notice that #2 is incredibly vague and almost hand-waved as a joke. We as developers see the minor flaws but most people just seem to see the good of it.

EDIT: I'm not talking about Imgur. I'm talking about Imgur's posts about Pokemon Go. My bad for the ambiguity.

I've used Imgur for years (though not wittingly anymore, due to their growingly shady practices) and have never known them to have a reputation for poor uptime. Reddit's stability issues seemed to be 100x worse.

When I think of Imgur, I think of 1) first 'decent' image host in a dark time, 2) terrible policies/management.

You mean "decent" as in "can't even show a plain image file without javascript"? Puh-lease.

I mean "decent" as in "It was better than the other options at the time" - Photobucket, etc.
