They made hotlinking increasingly difficult, turned the site into a social network and sold ads against content. It is no longer a "image hosting site" the way it was back then, it was going bankrupt as well.

It still is the same old imgur for making posts. One button to upload, you get served your album link, right click image for direct link. Same as its been for 15 years. Just used it as such last week.

Imgur deleted a huge number of old reddit posts when retroactively banning nudity.

They broke the social contract of being a trusted host, that's the biggest change.
