Also have you noticed that it's been crashing a lot more on mobile?

"Usersub's Believe It or Not! is an Imgur franchise, founded by Sarah Imgur and funded by ads, which deals in bizarre events." Free ride?

I think it's probably more like this:

Honestly, it wasn't so bad on mobile, but they must have "fixed" something. Ads are more prominent now...

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

They added another banner ad right above the show more comments button, easy to miss click.

This perfectly describes the thinking behind the Imgur staff.

What’s up with @sarah eye makeup? Although @alan looks like he’s beefed up a bit.

It surprises me at the amount of people not using a ad blocker. Be an adult already.

I just hate that Imgur stops my music now when I open the app.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Does it??

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Anytime something autoplays, most devices stop music. It’s a bitch.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Especially when 90% of the gifs still don’t add audio.

If you use iPhone headphones, at least the older ones, you could just hit the pause button on them to restart whatever was playing

I remember that, always a save

Yeah, cuz they know all the bitching is just bitching and no one will really leave in any concerning amount

I have an alternative. But it's a universal forum and there's purposefully no upvote/downvote system.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

I'm sure they're advertiser will care though if they're paying for ad space and suddenly everyone is downloading ad blockers.

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Not to mention that AFAIK not clicking on an advert also gives them a little money. It lets them track what adverts work for you or not?

Ah, I did not know that. I havent used the mobile site but that is some BS

Until some alternative comes up, at which point it will be to late.

Yes, surely some other site will suddenly start hosting reddit's entire collection of images.

8 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 2

I mean, they don’t have to take over Reddit hosting duties. I know that’s how imgur started, but nobody cares about that any more

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

(And obviously tons of storage and bandwidth, that’s a given)

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Because we all know reposting to another site is so hard.

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 1

By all means, convince entire reddit not to use "upload" feature in the post and to use some random image hoster instead, lol.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Imgur is a host platform of its own, with its own community. All you need is a lightweight design and a good comment feature

I seriously dont understand people who dont use adblock

8 years ago | Likes 12 Dislikes 3

I'm seeing ads with adblock on.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Many folks on mobile or the app aren't using adblocks, apparently.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Is there one for mobile? I never use mobile and never see ads.

8 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

I only see footer ads on my phone.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

For now. When the update rolls out, things will change. Set the app to not update.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I have adds every few images in a post now, it's fucking stupid because sometimes they're not clearly marked either

Yes! And the "advertisement" mark in it at least for me is a really similar color to the background, scummy move imo

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Man i got lucky i just ran out of space on my phone and did not update to the new version with all this crazy shit.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Because that's how websites like imgur monetize free services? I mean blocking ads on imgur isn't that horrible but what I don't understand

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Is people who use it on sites like youtube where people are literally making their living off of making entertainment but people can't stand

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

to watch an ad for 5 seconds on a ten minute video on a free platform.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

You have to understand from the user perspective too. There was a time when a lot of sites didn't even have ads, and over time they've/1

Become not only more prominent, but invasive. For example, i didn't mind the small ads at the bottom of posts, but like many users I feel /2
