A lot of those memes are probably the same image. Would it be possible for Imgur to remove duplicate images and just redirect users to the original? That might help save bandwidth.

Deduplication would save storage space, but won’t do anything for bandwidth; if you redirect users to an existing image they’re still going to download it and you’re still going to use up some bandwidth.
