It is ridiculous to have to cancel a notification EVERY single time I favorite something. I can like an individual thing and not want to follow a user. Undo this because I feel like it is just going to reduce engagement and push people away from favoriting at all.

Sorry not sorry Elbow that I don't follow you.

Edit: Some folks in the comments are saying hasn't happened to them. Apparently I'm special. Thanks for the early roll-out? I hate it. This is on Android, version 7.16.0.

Weird, I've never been prompted with this via the app or browser.

Also, following only works for some posters...

They did this for help with people who follow some artists or specific posters. (I remember I would have followed BunkerJohn back in the day, and always looked for his posts)
But the way this seems to be implemented, does not feel like a good thing.
As for the secret santa thing, I can understand WHY Imgur doesn't want to fuck with it anymore, and honestly, do not blame them one iota.

5 months later. This is still a thing and it continues to be annoying.

I'm on desktop but I can favorite without that asking. I favorited this post just to check.

Yes! Please PLEASE get rid of this. Whenever I favorite or upvote I see this message. Every. Freaking. Time.
