Uploading without an account is the only way I've ever used it. Still worked via the API last I checked.
Same, no account here. I bookmarked https://imgur.com/upload years ago and it still seems to work fine.

their image editor loving sucks poo poo now
Agreed, I was trying to use it to crop a screenshot I uploaded the other day and it doesn't seem to be able to crop anymore? They apparently sold out their editor functionality to some other site.

Beartaco posted:

That's a real loving panicky tweet for some incredibly vague messaging.

They're going to delete the sort of poo poo I post on there, which gets exactly one view (most likely from the person who uploaded it) and then is never accessed again for half a decade.

It will make older SA threads basically unreadable. It's Waffleimages all over again.

Right, according to some guy on twitter.

The actual release explicitly says "unused, inactive content."

It just sucks that they never had a clear policy/warning from the beginning, like "this image will be auto deleted after 4 years from this date." That would have been better for everyone.

originally they did, it was that uploads would be deleted if they got no views for six months

then they changed the retention to "forever" in 2015, then they changed their minds now

If theyre gonna do this dumb thing, they should just say all old images would be archived forever, but starting now things not uploaded on an account would not stay up longer than a month or whatever

The porn thing though, that's never gone well for anyone and it rules(sucks) that it keeps happening

if they were smart like me they would instead rationalise their storage by having just one photo of goatse, one image of nude shrek, one pair of tits. they could instantly deduplicate their whole database and reduce their expenses.

How often do you think old SA archive threads are read? And no, it's not according to "some guy on twitter", literally the content of the actual release suggests this will be the case. You seem to be very well informed on this unlike the rest of us absolute idiots and drones, so as the guy who knows what's going on, by all means fill us in on the criteria they're using for unused, inactive content.

When it said "your upload will resume after this ad", did anyone ever actually see an ad? For me, it just continued loading with a mostly blank screen, then showed me my uploaded image.

Maybe if they got ads to work, they'd have enough money to keep their archives robust.
