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.
