Imgur blocking Adult/NSFW content is most likely influenced by their monetization strategy.

You know why they (and Tumblr/IG) want to block Adult/NSFW content?

Ads. Advertisers don't want their ads (and brand) to be associated with adult/NSFW content.

We aren't beholden to advertisers, and embrace freedom of expression. We have no plans to ban NSFW content.

@pixelfed Perhaps this is true, but these same advertisers don’t seem to have any problem being associated with right-wing extremists. Their priorities are quite perplexing. #advertising #NSFW
