These are all ads from the Imgur mobile app the last few days. And some examples of the sites they lead you to if clicked on. It’s all scam stuff going on…

URLs certainly don’t match the news sites they claim to be

These are the ads I am getting constantly the last few days from the Imgur app. What the heck is going on over there to be using full on scam ads?

If 9 out of 10 people block all ads, that 1 person has to get enough ads to pay for all 10

I pay $2.50/month and am ad free. This I recommend.

I could suggest a DNS based ad blocking but it seems I'm being filtered about it.
