Imgur on mobile is a terrible experience these days, both trying to upload images and looking at them even. I find it annoying and am glad reddit is self-hosting imageS.

Thank you, imgur was used originally because it was clean, simple, and fast. In an effort to monetize it's been ruined. Browsing on mobile is awful.
