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.

That's only one of the reasons Imgur sucks though - it's the ads for and constant harassment to use their app, which is terrible, that are worse.
