Their whole front page has dozens of these same images. And I'm not much of a imgur user to dig around.

Rules (interactive)

That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

I remember being perplexed a few years back when a coworker started talking to me about "imgur posts" and "imgur comments". I was like, "the image hosting site?"
So weird
I noticed with amusement once that some of my uploads for Reddit had comments, even full discussions and unanswered questions addressed to me. It was like finding out the mice in the walls had built a shrine to me.
LOL
It was weird sometimes. Say you uploaded an image as a visual aid to a point being made on Reddit. It would make no sense without context, but you put it on Imgur because that’s what Imgur was made for. Shared on Reddit, the image successfully aided whatever you were trying to communicate. Mission accomplished!
But later you’d look back at the Imgur link, and find a bunch of annoyed Imgur-users complaining that your post made no sense.
You could just upload to Imgur and get a share link, but for the longest time it would default to also post uploads to the Imgur front page. Most random stuff would only get as far as 'user submitted ' before sinking into the depths, but anything engaging would get up voted to most viral and attract a lot of comments.
I used to be quite active in the Imgur community before the enshitification and it was always a bit of a meme the amount of random stuff that got into user sub unintentionally.
Ah yes, the days of GTA screenshots in user sub.
I remember the imgur Community being referred to as sewer people on reddit.
A weird form of arrogant elitism
Also fucking rich considering the source. Didn't imgur start as a Reddit image host?
Yes, but nobody visited imgur except to upload files. The people subsisting off of our contextless uploads were like morlocs!
Lol same here. I wish Imgur stayed a simple image hosting site
It's like if the underground rats of New York built their own society lol
I actually started on imgur before I used reddit at all. I used to browse "i am bored" as a kid/teen. Eventually I thought, man I really only want the funny images, is there something that's just that? That's when I found imgur and I was hooked. "Sarah please" and all that.
I'm in the same boat. I only ever used the site as an easy, hassle-free image host. When they steadily increased the hassle and included more and more ads, I stopped using it in the end. No clue that it turned into it's own social media site, or how that even happened.
They had full-on fan events too 😝
