The content now is basically 'look at my dog', 'look at my [family member], goddamn Sanders and current affairs. Where's the fun in it?
ourgreatbenefactor
I'm fine with dog pictures, but I hate how everyone on here claims that they're an expert on everything, especially given recent events.
TheLennox
Can't agree more. Sometimes you find a guy that says interesting things and knows shit, but I hate when there are 50 specialists at once.
Twitch1984
I'm glad someone said it. Get back to the basics, realize it's just a website and have some fun with it.
TheImgurNeoConConcious
humans naturally form communities, especially when they're lonely. It's a pure intention and I don't get why people get so worked up (1/2)
TheImgurNeoConConcious
about it, especially when there's so much negative shit online as it is. Just let people do their thing. (2/2)

This! I get annoyed at the beating of dead horses. I just wanna have a chuckle and move on

People take imgur way too seriously and forget what it is. They're turning this site into a stupid clique for what, imaginary points? +1

No no no. We have to go to a summer camp and post about the camp.
scarycookiemonster
The camp is IMO better than all the stupid inside jokes and circlejerks. At least the campers are doing something outside with actual people
igottadem
This is why camp imgur creeps me out
TheStig1986
I agree. I don't care about the community. I came for funny/awesome pictures.

Maybe if we got rid of this whole point system and status ranks..

Imgur is great for funny pictures and stuff, but the community sickens me.
maxintelligents
I tried to show someone imgur during the gif war bullshit and it was almost embarrassing. How many variations of a bad inside joke can exist
Blackd0nuts
Thank's! I had the exact same feeling about all this and didn't enjoy anything about the "gif war" either. Glad to know others feel the same

I liked better when imgur was an image hosting site. No comments, no message, no social just your gifs.
asskickersmurf
when was that? cause i've been on here longer than you and i don't remember that.
aidanrocks13
Imgur was created by a Redditor to be Reddit's image-hosting bitch. Not it's own shitty excuse for a "community" that it is today.
blkbox
When there was none of that community identity. Comments existed but almost all the site was there for was hosting.

Imgur is too racist for Tumblr and not racist enough for 4chan. We're all still losers, though.
aramil31
Imgur community tries to cater to both politically correct and incorrect opinions, and ends up pissing everyone off.
threddum
Imgur is racust? Only in obvious jokes and the bad comments section. Tumblr does the same. "Too racist" my ass.
dudname
With the whole #BLM and Sanders thing? It is disgusting how many racist remarks are on the front page and the justification of them.
threddum
Ok, actually point taken. Haven't really been paying attention to those posts, but yeah you're right from what I've seen.
TGWeaver
The difference is 4chan acknowledges its own bigotry, while Imgur tries to justify it.
dudname
Imgur is nearly as racist as 4chan under the guise of not being racist. (Black people storm the stage? Let's call them "ghetto".)
OverlyCynicalImgurian
Tumblr is as racist as you want it to be, for example one of the people I follow on tumblr, is a Nazi.
bukkakecupcake
Can I trust the word of a OverlyCynicalImgurian???
JohnnyDoveto
Are you implying Tumblr isn't racist? Just cause they're only racist towards whites doesn't mean they aren't.

Imgur claims to not be racist, but their racist to anyone is who isn't white.
