Imgur for example is quite happy to show you the image and that alone if you view it directly. (As in via i.imgur.com/*.png)

Click the same direct image link from Facebook (Messenger in my example) and it'll redirect you to its full fat ad loaded page at best, at worst it'll just redirect you to its iOS/Android app listing with no way of actually seeing the damn image you clicked
