Went to browse imgur today in my browser, and this pop-up appears when trying to swipe past the first post. There is no way around it that I can see. Looks like the only way to access content is now via the app.

So I guess in not using it anymore.. (Also, ironic first post).

I used to like, 10-15 years ago. It wasn't amazing, but it filled that role of a place to doom scroll. Then they forced all this crap into the site to make it more "social" completely ruining whatever little bit of good the site had.

It's a shame because I do kinda miss it sometimes. It was like browsing r/all but with several times the content. Having no separate subreddits/communities meant you could see such a massive variety of content that not even reddit at it's peak could quite match.

And users instantly downvoted selfies, too, which was nice. Political stuff got tiring, but then there were sea slugs to cleanse that.
