Trash
September 4, 2022

Imgur is filled with a bunch of pathetic fat losers. I literally get mass downvoted because I was asking why fox news counted as Fascist propaganda. Then I say that all fascists and republicans should be imprisoned and Liberals/Socialists are the best people ever and I get mass upvoted. Mfs are literal losers. Everyone that actually enjoys this app probably has a sad life

I love this sharing service! This is great social. Everybody all over the world can comment, like and dislike your posts. Its great tool for people. Who are interested, if their ideas, posts are actually cool or not cool at all. Every day thousands of people view your content and you can find funny, useful and hilarious information. One guy posted his selfie before visiting the dentist with crooked teeth and then with beautiful smile. This is decision in his life he made and Imgur Community was very supportive. This is just amazing, how cool this is. In Instagram (sorry for compering it with Imgur) you can share your own photos and photos of your pets only with your friends. And if your friends are busy, you will not get any feedback :(. In Imgur everybody will see it!

Prompt Response
August 3, 2016

I was having the site glitch and not show me all the images I had uploaded. I took a screen shot of the error page and tweeted their official twitter. Not only did they respond right away (with a picture of a cat) but they also fixed the problem just as quickly. I have never had such fast service with an online service, especially for an individual user's problem. 10/10

Liberalism
November 15, 2021

Imgur is plagued by liberal users that cannot tolerate any viewpoints that they do not share. Take any political post and look for the "bad replies" link and you will see that all of the liberal users "down vote" any conservative comments; thus hiding said replies from normal view which is in effect a form of user controlled censorship. Case in point. Someone posted a meme to "tax billionaires" and many replies pointing out how dumb that is got down voted/hidden from the comments section. Anyone who has 1/2 a brain will know that when you "tax the rich" consumers end up paying said tax as billionaires will only incorporate that tax hike into the MSRP of their product, in more simple terms... pass that tax onto their customers in the form of price markups. Even if you tried to educate the liberal userbase, all of your messages will get down voted and hidden from anyone not willing to look at those bad replies to get a more balanced consensus of any particular topic.

You'd think they'd just behave like a normal image hosting site like photobucket; but look at their homepage, and apparently also their moderation, and you'll see it's basically a circle jerk for communists, pinkos, useful idiots, and other regressive "progressive" types. I could elaborate and explain, but you'll see all the typical dishonest "political" posts as you see everywhere else, only on imgur it's always one-sided and the other sides get banned for "violating community guidelines" or some hypocritical bull$#*! while other posts are full of blatant overt lies (or as political "activists" call it today, "misinformation" and "disinformation") and even libel and slander.

And apparently, Imgur also hosts child pornography and this apparently is an issue they've had for years too. You have to wonder how they're still in business when so many other image hosters went under despite never doing $#*! like this to drive away users or hosting as much illegal content. Maybe they've received external funding to promote communist rhetoric on their site, but that's just speculation (I haven't looked at their investors or anything).

And it's pretty funny how I have to agree that this review is truthful before post this as well, you obviously don't have to do that for image uploads to imgur.

I can not trust the company to host images, that have any remote negative view on American left poltics think, publicly or not shared. I am not in the usa butt if I upload images for my own use and it is not viewed as correct I fully belave it will be removed. For example an image of a boxing group meet, or my boys doing boy things. That may be taken as wrong activity and removed. Best avoid it happing.

Toxic Community
August 24, 2023

Any comment that doesn't go with the Far-Left narrative:
1. Trump sucks
2. Republicans suck
3. Conservatives suck
4. Wealthy people suck
5. Christians suck
6. Non LQTBQ people suck

Your uploaded images will be downvoted and eventually you will be reported and muted. Even though you didn't violate any rules on the site, the mob has spoken and the mods are on their side. I conducted an experiment and uploaded an image of AOC and how awesome she was, I get about 1400 pts. Two days later. I uploaded an image of a goup of black people who gang raped and murdered a white girl, negative 20 pts. So called Imugrians will also proceed to go into your profile and downvote each of your uploads and comments because they think it's worse than death. It's quite the opposite. The community is toxic and the far-left losers IRL ruined the site.

Most of the people who harass you are neckbeard virgins.

How do you say it?
November 5, 2015

I was okay with uploading images on this website. I found out about the gallery and decided to uploaded pictures of my best beans. I was followed with downvotes to the underworld. I don't think children these days remember the good old days with beans.

My updates:
There are a lot of toxic people on imgur for some reason. They will be quick to downvote even basic pictures from new users. They will also post inappropriate comments quite often. The interface itself is a bit clunky as well.

My original review:
I cannot add anything special that wasn't posted on the previous review. However, I can concur with a lot of it. Imgur is a very simple site that allows you to either register or sign in using Twitter, Facebook, Google, or Yahoo credentials. Everything about the design of the site is sleek and simple.

It is yet another thumbs up / thumbs down site that will allow you to browse a boatload of images from users across the world.

REASONS TO USE:
[1] Fun to browse vast library of images
[2] Ad free

REASONS TO LOSE:
[1] You prefer another image browser site

Most folks on the front page don't appear to have any life experience or tolerance for subjective viewpoints. They call it an online "community" (as if that's possible) whule denigrating anyone that isnt a radical liberal.

When you post just for you. You get downvoted just because it isn't for others to be idk happy or laugh? Like idk, but besides that it's okay and alot better than photobucket. If you're a private person just change your settings to unlisted

If there's a way to get downvoted on a site, I am going to get downvoted. A lot. More than pretty much any other user who contributes to said site. Any site that allows downvotes or negative ratings to be publicly displayed, and you'll find me with a negative reputation on comments that, if they were posted by any other user, would get a positive score.

Imgur is worse than most others about this. They are quick and fierece about downvoting content that doesn't fit into their narrow 4chanesque world view.

The site itself is cool though and you can find interesting images. Shame about the losers that use it.

Look I am not very much a political man and when I am I am civil about it. I used to frequent this site on a daily basis but the political commentary infecting every single feed with comments is offputting in every regard, race and justification for violence against political opponents (generally republicans and right wingers here) is used in most single front page posting with top comments regularly calling for outright violence. I just wanted to see animal pictures and the occasional info graphics. Here is a quick example from my experience today (7 March, 2022), for reference I don't give crap about some truck convoy to DC but when I see people posting and upvoting comments on how an A-10, a close air support assault aircraft, should be used on these truckers on the road (thus implying using these aircraft to brutally murder truckers and destroy their vehicles), I find this rhetoric deeply disturbing. I will not be visiting this site again and I hope the government regulates and shuts down this cesspool of lunacy and disinformation.

Just another cheesy ad platform with schills running phoney accounts. If you download any of the utilities you will get a bunch of PUP malware that is very hard to remove.

This site is full of hatefull lefties.
If you voice any opinion other than the
Anti trump/white/right/police/gun you are going to be called names, made cun of you, sometimes they will wish you a painfull death.
This site is good only as a free hosting site.
The users are snoflakes that represent the,, trophy or taking part in" world view and you can see it when they praise one another on their poor results in atempting cosplay/diy/cooking
Avoid interaction, if You dont want your kids to growup to be lusterka and leftwing crybabies... than ban them from using this hole full of failure and atempism.

Toxic community through and through. If you have a different opinion on anything you are chastised, downvoted met with replies of childish insults. Reading through it's just one giant circle jerk of people patting themselves on the back or agreeing with each other often on political posts which they have a minor understanding of with the majority being non-Americans posting about American politics. And there's the creepy posts of females and mass perversion while the site claims to be safe. This sites community is nothing more than Amoral fascists acting like high moral douche bags masquerading from post to post in self righteousness while being stuck in a loop of nothing but crappy posts about politics, cats and puppies and the occasional completely fabricated sob story. Stay away from this site at all costs, if you want a toxic community just use 4chan but using either is saying a lot about your mental health. There was once positivitiy and fun on imgur it has long since turned into a cesspit. If you do use imgur, just use it for storage of photos and videos and stay away from the community.

The front page of Imgur is obnoxiously left wing but with absolutely nothing of substance to say about politics. This is basically where 12 year olds who think they are enlightened socialists go when they get banned on Reddit and Twitter because even people who agreed with them politically couldn't stand them. Mods are also these 12 year olds so if you post anything even remotely against the opinion of these children you will get downvoted and reported till your account is banned. However, you will get tons of upvotes if you post anything with a left-wing bent. Literally, like you can post something pro-pedo and it will get upvoted if its attacking a right winger who said something negative about pedos.
