Imgur has been having many issues for over a year now, but we're at an all-time high here.
1. Looking through Favorites is hit-or-miss and autoplay always causes an error.
2. Sometimes you can't tell if a gif was favorited or not (no visible change with the heart icon) and getting a "failure to add" is clearly their unhelpful 404 error.
3. For most of last night the server was completely inaccessible for me.
4. Lastly, quite a few gifs under Most Viral feed just fail to load and just brings up the #1 most viral gif.
I'm sure I'm missing many more.
Edit:
I've always loved Imgur for it's amazing community, and it's ultimately what we all make of it. Despite the new owners and the ads, I'm optimistic that we'll all continue to make it a great place. I'm just venting. I've never been blocked (network saturation) across an entire evening. I lost count of the number of Imgur-less trips to the bathroom.

When I up (or down) vote comments in a thread and then go back to “previous comments” all the votes disappear
Itsallgreytome
Are we just going to ignore the absurd amount of ads on every single page on mobile now?
corpofilth
The Imgur app has been a janky piece of shit since day one.
smashfaceawesome
Dislike the App freezing up on iOS. (Devs, you have fixed this bug before.)

That why I opt out of beta and only use desktop.
Rivalyn
Imgur as it exists now, its purpose is to sell your eyes to advertisers. It used to be something different, but those days are gone.

Wanted to upvote, 'There was an error while voting. Please try again' lmao
SonrisaFlores
I learned quickly Imgur app is shit unless you have the latest tech. Desktop ftw... Even browser works better.
Rauca
Most of the photos I uploaded when I joined have disappeared. I scroll down and, gone. Every month one or two more vanish.
TheAccursedHamster
Okay but what if instead of fixing shit.. they threw more ads and arbitrary rules at us? Just think about it

imgur after selling their meme gen page and ad space:
digsdugs
“I’m so angry that this thing I use for free isn’t perfect!!!”
technofiend
Right? I got screen of 50-75 blank icons interspersed with 5-10 ads. Well something's working. Not the part we need, but something.
FuryM0nk
ads every 2 posts are fkn annoying
HedonistBeard
Well the company that bought them buys up failing properties and milk them with ads until they die, so imgur wasn't doing well.
anotherdickat
Ya, I have an email address I pay for and they stopped letting me upload because "spam" but I can logout and upload all I want, some of -->
anotherdickat
the people running imgur are none too smart.
anotherdickat
Not me spamming, they claim the mail service causes spam when in actuality it prevents people from spamming me by letting me give each -->
anotherdickat
service I sign up for a unique address that gets fwded to my actual inbox & I can kill off an address that gets spammed

bigdinger81
Well it's a good thing you're not using it for important work then
MisterLemons
Half of the problems including battery, load time, and bandwidth, and crashes disappeared when I put a proper adblock on. Shocker...
rbudrick
I wish I could install a working adblocker but they require root and there is no root for my phone model yet.
MisterLemons
Shouldn't require root, but I don't know enough about that. I've been fine with blokada for years, though some is starting to get through.
rbudrick
Thanks, will check it out!
snailbait
The ads load perfectly everytime though.
Quessir
But the Imgur server status site is always reporting green screen as the board whenever there ARE issues, and that'd never lie. Right?
dart223
Been looking like a stain glass window lately and I updated. Crashing still, not loading is just making me use it less. The bots are bad too
babycoolredhead
It's only getting worse with more frequency.
imsam77
Surprise surprise, they have moved to the profits stage...question is, will they just decline over time or revamp
highstone
Have you tried turning it off and back again?
FredGarvinMaleProstitute
companies discontinue products all the time. maybe it's intentional ?
cosonfused
this is bullshit. Even if you pay for it, you're still a product.
Higure
They never said you weren't being sold out if you pay for the service. Just that if the service is free, you are DEFINITELY being sold out.
HedonistBeard
If you hadn't heard imgur already sold out to a company that buys failing properties and milk them for ad revenue with zero quality control.
theBasilisker
I am getting sick of all the American political posts, so I started using 9gag on the side. The trolling and racism is way easier to travers
BranDohCalrissian
I got an old version from an apk site and the nightmare was over.
rbudrick
I'm still waiting to hear from people what the last version apk pre-ads was. I've asked a few times. No one seems to know.
RealRaceRiotsAreAboutGettingBlueshelledInMarioKart
I did that and it kept updating. Set automate by llamalab to reinstall every few days. All started when it played audio from my pocket.
easterr0x
4.23 for me. Works fine.
d3jake
Congrats. This is what happens after they got bought out: there parent company will spend the bare minimum to prevent a mass exodus and /
insegrevious
It's been shit since the first day it released, has nothing to do with being bought out. Glad they got their money, but its a shit site.
fknbastard
And give the rest as dividends to shareholders
d3jake
Yeap. Milk it for what it's worth with zero regard for what it is or represents.
d3jake
No more
imjustheresoidontgetfine
getting sick of not seeing boobs anymore
thereitis101
Google the word boobs and go to images. Voila.
TheRealGoddamnLochNessMonster
We did have buttholes for a little while there.

when was this moral high ground created?
WrongUn
Oh boy do i got a website for you!
MrHappySmiles
<— THIS… I never refresh user sub and catch any of the real LNI…
theomni
The amount that the internet has been sanitized and made advertiser friendly is just mind boggling.
theomni
Not even getting into the layers of absurdity that Advertising Friendly, means no sex related content.
GasBandit
And it's not even sex. You can't even mention any keywords for anything remotely controversial in the slightest on Youtube and keep monetizn
SkunkMom
So many sites won't let you use vaguely sexual language that new words are being invented just to walk around it.
NothingToDoWithBakingBread
What'ya you mean? So you mean body parts don't equal sex? Absurd /s
GasBandit
Not even just body parts... politics, gender issues, mental health issues... OOPS DEMONETIZED
Kangg
It's the blind leftist rage that's doing me in -- you can't have a convo in here anymore without people freaking out.

MrHappySmiles
Is the non Bruce Willie’s boob Esmerelda Villalobos?
Sirtopumhat
If I understand; folks don't want to see boobs on sites that have boobs; they want unexpected boobs yes ? Boobs at best buy not hooters.
TygrF
This is why it's so disappointing that reddit gone wild is now just OnlyFans thots.
imjustheresoidontgetfine
I think that's exactly it. random boobs are desired more than boobs u can get on all them free sites. haha
CraftyGiant
you must be new here. this place used to be boobs as far as the eye could see.
smashfaceawesome
Hence sad that not seeing boobs here anymore.
bBoldBrian
Put all the boobs in one place. The class system prevails.
nasukkin
Someone make a new imgur with Blackjack and hookers.
Stressicca
That bug where the preview image is wrong has been rampant the last couple days. Almost every time I refresh.
Californiajackson
Has anyone else been getting the image overlapping the top lones of the text/captions?
Californiajackson
*lines
Ferlin7
No I've been getting every gif frozen a it takes ages to load. Ads run just fine. I have to close the app every few minutes and reopen.
TheDuse
Yep. Started very recently I believe.
urbak
If on computer, ads keep moving to the left and block text for me. Also, Imgur runs so slow on computer - and I got a good one.
Stressicca
Case in point. Upper right image is what I tap.
Stressicca
This is the image I get
BillHaleyandhisComments
they've started reusing links more than original owners. expect this to happen more

Free cat pics! Lucky!
kingofmymind
Ive had that for some time now. Glads its not just me.
duktayp
Desktop version FTW
Smayds
Hilariously, notifications aren't working right now on Desktop for me. That red "There was an error" balloon pops up every 20 seconds or so.
spooktree
caledric
I was going to say... I'm having none of these issues...
urbak
The desktop version is so buggy for me it's quite often I just close the app and don't bother. Phone app works much better for me.
GFYandyourstupidrequirements
It hasn’t even occurred to me that desktop Imgur exists
GussDeBlod
I very rarely browse on my phone too. Imgur works fine on PC and I'm on my PC anyway.
undercoverles
Oh i've experienced the favorites glitch only on the desktop website. It's a shitshow. Click favorite and it removes the /gallery/ part of
undercoverles
the url and thus gives a 404 message. To see any of my own favorites, have to right click, copy link, paste, and manually type in /gallery/
hogeyegrex
Yeah. That’s been pissing me off for a while now.
CraftyGiant
Desktop just means other issues, like comments failing often.
BunnieWigglesworth
Desktop doesn’t work AT ALL for me. This platform is like… 80% broken for me now
TygrF
...just so damn hard hauling my PC to the toilet and back.
Foire
TheJewishSpaceLaser
Especially the work pc. Getting a lot of weird looks from my co-workers…
DingusMajoris
Mobile device + Desktop site + AdBlock = God Mode (though it still kinda sucks)
RondomGuy
Pretty much what i do now since the app no longer works on my phone. Every update it kept getting worse
boson23
Downgrade to version 4.19.0.0(apkmirror), and get adguard. And it won't suck anymore
