It's especially ironic taking into account how imgur came to be: as a simple image hosting website for reddit without ads/fluff. Now it's the polar opposite.

Still, Imgur is vastly superior to the old image hosting sites. Even though the redirects and low resolution images on mobile are annoying.

They serve a lot of traffic, and the bandwidth expenses are probably quite big.

I also find it much faster than Reddit's own image/video hosting.
