It's auto after you get over 100k. It used to be manual (hence the wording)

I don't think I'll ever hit 100,000 points. Lol
I had emerald for years after reporting a bug, unfortunately, they eventually took it away. It was kind of silly, but it was nice to have for a while.

I thought it was 110k now. I have 105 and no free emerald

Try your luck at asking the mod team. (If any people exist there anymore. Lol)

I got mine from the mods back in the day, after a truly terrible pun.

Yep, welcome to the club. Enjoy your no ads

Except sometimes when the ads sneak through.

Also, imgur performs like 600% better on emerald.

Using ad blocking apps can also help you get no ads.

Unless you're on desktop, in which case fuck your Emerald; you're getting ads anyway.

Huh is that how it works?
WolvesAreTheBestPeople
Yep. If it hasn’t kicked in it will soon enough.
lackinglife
I just have never recalled having adds and felt no need to bring it up in case someone felt the need to correct it

From someone lacking life, yeah. It’s probably the only reason I’m still on Imgur, tbh. Ads would’ve driven me away a long time ago.

Or if you spend nearly 12 years on the same account while visiting the site almost daily. https://media2.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPWE1NzM3M2U1Y203dHlyMHd3c2N5Z2VhaDE3cnkxa2Zsa3o5cHF6bHk4YmF5MWRnbyZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/l0IyajjbNiRvCr7RC/200w.webp

That too. I’m 8 years in and consider leaving every now and again. I’ve no other unified source of memes so here I stay.
