I noticed with amusement once that some of my uploads for Reddit had comments, even full discussions and unanswered questions addressed to me. It was like finding out the mice in the walls had built a shrine to me.
It was weird sometimes. Say you uploaded an image as a visual aid to a point being made on Reddit. It would make no sense without context, but you put it on Imgur because that’s what Imgur was made for. Shared on Reddit, the image successfully aided whatever you were trying to communicate. Mission accomplished!
But later you’d look back at the Imgur link, and find a bunch of annoyed Imgur-users complaining that your post made no sense.
You could just upload to Imgur and get a share link, but for the longest time it would default to also post uploads to the Imgur front page. Most random stuff would only get as far as 'user submitted ’ before sinking into the depths, but anything engaging would get up voted to most viral and attract a lot of comments.
I used to be quite active in the Imgur community before the enshitification and it was always a bit of a meme the amount of random stuff that got into user sub unintentionally.

Ah yes, the days of GTA screenshots in user sub.
