> ~10 years later and Imgur is basically a social network itself. I hate seeing an imgur link now. Photo upload doesn't seem to be something that can be offered in a way that pleases everyone.

It seems like it can start out good. But then, inevitably, some “product owner” or UX designer won’t be able to keep his or her hands off it, and will eventually ruin it with chat, social features, newsletter subscriptions, JavaScript, scrolljacking, clickjacking. It always ends up like “imgur 10 years later”.

This is how so many good software products go bad. People can’t just leave it alone.
