Imgur has long been a favored platform for people uploading explicit content intended for sharing on NSFW subreddits, given that Reddit itself prohibits direct uploads of explicit images. In 2019, the photo-sharing website stopped displaying NSFW Imgur subsections associated with subreddits. However, it did not delete any images and continued to allow users to upload pornographic content, provided they chose the “hidden” privacy status. Apparently, this has led to confusion and frustration regarding what is and isn’t permissible on the hosting service.
