Wait imgur was its own social media thing? I never knew lol.
There’s do many image hosters out there.
The term “social media site” is used very loosely these days. Allow comments on anything? Congrats, you’re a social media site!
I just found out my boss would scroll imgur directly. I only ever knew it as the image host of choice on reddit. Very rarely I’d click thru an imgur link to an album and then stay on the site to scroll a few more images, but that’s it.
Oh, they have their own memes, comics, famous users/posters, copypasta, etc, except it feels more like your stuck on r/all with a smaller userbase. Comments are, I believe still locked at 140 characters, so conversation is severely limited. It was fun - I was an Imgur user for several years before I realized that Reddit was really everything I wanted from Imgur. Literally haven’t gone back since I switched to Reddit about 10 years ago
It even was imho pretty entertaining for a long time, up to about season 1 of don john.
Yeah, I only found out maybe last year that there’s a whole community underneath it. Up until then I thought it was simply just an image hosting site.
