I wonder how long imgur will be around and how many broken links on reddit and the web after that.

Then there are all the short links on the web, what happens when t.co breaks when someone refuses to pay the bill?

FWIW, imgur already decided to delete "older images not tied to an account" a few months ago.

Help run an ArchiveTeam Warrior VM pointed to the URLTeam project. They’re archiving all URL shorteners.

That already feels like the norm tbh. Nearly every imgur link in an old reddit post or chatlog seems to be dead these days.
