ImgurReviews 78

This site is garbage. People are allowed to harass and/or stalk you if you disagree with their opinion. The mods here genuinely don't give a $#*!. I would literally pay for front row seats to watch the people on this site kill themselves.

This website has unfortunately devolved into an extreme liberal echo chamber. They celebrate conservative deaths and repeatedly call for violence against anyone who is even moderately conservative. This public forum needs to be regulated and controlled just like the liberals who have controlled facebook and twitter. Equality is a two way street.

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.

Imgur used to be a fun image-sharing website with nice spontaneous new meme trends & bandwagons, the occasional storytime, and cute dog gifs. I've struggled to find anything even remotely close to that for the past few years. The company has made it impossible not to use their app which doesn't work very well, tries to make up forced trends like "{insert random wannabe quirky thing no one's ever asked for} day!", and is far from above board with their mod practices. The community has followed, and most of the good fun meme-making users are gone, to be replaced by people who take themselves way too seriously and are quick to harass others. There are no more memes, and strictly nothing funny; this website has become the worst.

Imgur is not funny anymore
Imgur isn't fun anymore
Imgur isn't entertaining anymore
Its MEAN, its Hateful, its tedious.
It DETROYS any Positive Energy that Visitors might want to share.

The witty sarcasm has disintegrated into shards of cynicism – endlessly regurgitated by the Upvote Whores whose sum-total Contribution-to-Society can only be expressed in Internet Points.

It's like having a cancer tumor that doesn't hurt; it just gets worse every day – and uglier

Actually, its more like Jeff Goldblum's character in "The Fly" – and should probably meet a similar end.

Found Imgur many years ago when I was going through a bad time and needed a diversion. Of course it had some American political sh*t posts back then, but they were few and easy to ignore. It also many interesting and funny posts and overall a great place to interact. Not anymore. After almost 4 years, 3.7 million 'reputation' points, and more trophies than a third world dictator has medals, I deleted my account yesterday. Mob mentality rules and is backed by the Mods. If one Doesn't hate Trump, think you should stay in your basement for the rest of your life because of Covid and love BLM, your dissenting comment and post will be dog piled to oblivion and usually flagged by a moderator as a strike against your account because "It's hate speech" or "Promotes harm". I used to be able to appeal via DM to Sarah, MartynMage etc. and have it over ruled. Last few months I would just receive a standard reply to contact support, which never overturns an unfair moderation. It was going downhill like this for quite awhile but really went to crap and became a social justice, full of trolls haven, ever since Coil invested $20 million into it last August and changed the TOS once again, making it so vague that anything that is not a popular opinion is removed for violating it. Side note: Every Christmas they have a secret Santa. Posts of awesome gifts flood the front page. In reality most people get nothing because most people sign up just to get something with no intention of giving back. From a unique and somewhat supportive community it has spiraled into an echo chamber of the SJW PC insane.

This review is intended more to review the community and hateful cult politics.The site sort of works to upload images, but as per reviews, it's not even working for many cases.

As one who is interested in history, psychology, politics, and these general fields together, I've found myself censored multiple times on this website (including tumblr and reddit, which are only slightly better but enforce the same 'shadow censorship).

Once you reach some amount of negative points, usually just -1 votes, your comment is hidden, placed in a "bad posts only" queue, a place where uneducated trolls and bots will go to claim the reality you mentioned is 'wrong', you are 'bad for posting about it', and tons of insults too. Usually if you post some legitimate fact about "how bad someone some leftist policy did because in history" using scientific backing, and they happen to be a democrap for example, you'll basically instantly get placed into the moderation queue where you'll then be shadow banned instantly for 'breaking the rules'. In this way "they", the big dictators, the mentally ill, and so on, get to control what is displayed, even in the chance that "it's only the way that the [flawed] system was designed"

This creates the fake idea that they are making a 'popularity-based' self-regulated system. In reality, they're actually just censoring real views they claim do not exist, enforcing a community full of bigots, college kids in debt, racists, socialist and fascism lovers, and so on that upon taking up the bulk of voting power, box every other viewpoint or superior efficiency out of their small world. This basically enforces a system where flawed ideology of the users completely takes over everything, and the idea of a democratic, free speech system where 'anyone can comment', 'your view will be tolerated and looked at', is not enforced.

The average 'real person' that is not a bot will claim to be excessively smarter, refute all logic, and entice you to "debate" to prove how better you are (usually leading to an instant ban) in textboxes that only have 100 characters minimum (designed for pea-brains to insult or make 1-sentence commentary only).

Based on how the system works, the dumbest people who conform to the strange leftist policies are given medals and fake ideas of being influential for doing things like praising Obama and insulting/reporting criticism of him.

"fake" ideas and weird politics and memes that have no place for normal people in society are propped up as "highly popular", having to do with vaccines (yes no one cares), politics (obama good black man, white man always bad, orange man bad), general $#*!ation and racism enforced by 'tribal' style group enforcement.

A lot of the memes there are basically really bad, except maybe 1 in 100. It's just an perfect example how of the leftwing of politics functions. One of those places where the delusional ones have hidden themselves away in order to claim they are "smart and popular" when in a real neutral zone they are generally "vastly underperforming" in their ideas and logic.

Example:
>someone posts picture about how some kid missed an exam 'in a college'
>every single post is just "wowww::: :)! 1 he's deaddd woww!", almost like some tribally enforced $#*!ation
>i post something like "It's just a college. Email the professor, say 'I couldn't make the finals', you'll be able to take it in private the next day"
> first reply "Wow guys I found the incel 4channer!" +10 - extremely popular response
> *is actually a programmer who has his own convertible and was at the beach at the time* what.

I just envision these people are like, basically the gnomes, trolls, and fags who cried and acted like the world was going to end after the 2016 elections, and now live in their mom's basement, enforcing their weird memes, stereotypes, and fake socialist (USSR style) censorship on certain websites. They all think Russia is their enemy because the Clintons told them it how to act over CNN, ABC, NBC, and other fascist programming that has educated them since birth.

Imgur just happens to be one where I've noticed the trend of idiocy.

One pro is that it lets you host images. One con is popular or neutral stuff is usually falsely downvoted and perceived as 'not popular' due to the bad community members.

There's much better image sites.

The fact there's so many bad reviews about this is hilarious and essentially confirms the bias.

As a major image hosting site, Imgur have existed for years and still outrunning their other competitor, a good place to post pics that you take yourself and can be done without even signing up with them, but if you want to ask for the user opinion about your photo, I don't recommend you do that on Imgur because their user can be so toxic that it will hurt you just by reading the comment they posted. Sometimes can be a fun site but then suddenly everyone start hating each other for some ridiculous reason.

I used imgur for years. I used to really enjoy turning off and having a laugh with it. But I finally had to call it quits. Too many people on there are just hateful and angry. Some share personal stories that are uplifting or emotional (hence the one star for the rare good content) but inevitably it turns into a bunch of crying, whining, babies insulting each other. God forbid you try to be a voice of reason. Just walk away and save yourself the pain of watching the degradation of society in front of you. Unfortunately, woman tend to be the target of many of the hate. I don't engage in the comment section, but it can be difficult to ignore the more angry ones. There are better sites with better people out there. Pass on this one.

There are some really cool and interesting things people are doing and sharing on this website, but you have to dig through mountains of recycled meme macros, re-posts galore, arbitrary "community" norms like "cat tax" and "no selfies", and inconsistent moderator actions.

The anonymous upvote/downvote mechanism allows for rampant abuse, especially since there is little consequence for downvoting another member's submission. The scale of abuse aimed at well intentioned but non-conforming viewpoints is staggering. 140 characters seems to be inadequate space to articulate and engage in meaningful discussion over some very controversial but tolerated political posts, especially.

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.
