Delete the pop up ads or die

The pop up ads need to go or I do. Bye.

Every minute a full screen ad appears, can NEVER upload in this app, glitchy after like 10 minutes

Ads

Ads pop up over the media you’re engaging with. I deleted the app because the ad annoyance now outweighs the content enjoyment. Farewell after more than a decade…

Alas

Randomly kicks you out of galleries with no notice. Riddled with ads with every swipe in any direction. I miss the olden times before the A.I. garbage assimilated the people running this app; it’s sad, really.

No

I don’t want to download your app. Can’t even view a picture without the pop up blocking everything

Bloated

Ai slop

Forced to use this on mobile now?

I’m only here because Imgur is no longer letting me browse on my mobile phone’s web browser anymore. Now I HAVE to use this stupid broken app or not use Imgur anymore? Okay byyyeee!

Can’t upload anything anymore.

It either says “Cannot parse response” or “Imgur over capacity” or something, even though I already deleted a bunch of stuff already. Please fix this, this was my main image sharing app.

EDIT: This is STILL HAPPENING a year later. I may as well go find another image hosting app. Please fix this already.

Useless

I should be able to open specific posts from their links on other platforms, but I can’t. It always just opens the app without opening the post itself.

The single worst mobile application I’ve ever used

Literally just zooming in completely breaks it. Actually terrible.

Echo Chamber

The user base is cooked. Zero stars. Terrible memes. Used to be a fun app.

Garbage

I want 2005 Imgur back where people were shamed for posting selfies outside of Saturday. Dumbest content now. Idiocracy is in full swing.

How Far Imgur’s Fallen

Whatever the reason was for nuking their former moderation team/system, it wasn’t a great business decision. I don’t think they HAVE a moderation system anymore. They’re either supporting or complacent with hateful, bigoted content and transphobic spambots, and regardless of support or indifference, their inaction is evident.

Hijacks links, making it impossible to view embedded content

Good luck watching anything embedded in a forum post, for example, because if you tap it the Imgur app just opens on the Home Screen and shows you nothing. Installing this app actually makes it harder to interact with the platform the app is even *for*. Unbelievable

Battery Drain

This app drains battery more than any other app on my phone.

PLEASE fix this, unusable app to the point where I'd say they need a class action for the damage it causes to your battery.

The best app with the best people

I opened Imgur for 30 seconds and woke up in a different timeline with emotional attachment to a frog in a tiny hat and a guy who built a trebuchet for no reason.

This place is pure internet brain fuel. It’s memes, chaos, wholesome nonsense, and sudden life advice hitting you like a truck at 2am. You laugh, you question everything, you keep scrolling like it owes you money.

I don’t trust anyone who says they can “just check Imgur real quick.” That’s a lie. Time doesn’t exist there. I went in with responsibilities and came out with vibes.

Stop

Stop showing ads forced on me

So long

Well it was a fun run. But Imgur has decided to ruin itself like Tumblr. RIP them and their profits after May 15th.

It’s been a few years and yep Imgur is still dead and abandoned for other platforms. App is a mess I imagine it’ll become Pinterest in a few years before the execs sell to line their pockets and cut their loses

The giant unmovable Facebook ad kind of ruins it

The giant unmovable Facebook ad kind of ruins it

Ok app

Still has issues with weird censorship and questionable ads, but still my go to for memes. Only wish notifications had an unread select option
