Well that's funny. I cannot find the picture anywhere. I even tried disabling uBlock and then was promptly reminded of why I use it.

For me, it was HTTPS Everywhere that was causing the problem. Disabling it showed me the pictures.
That was it. I wish Google would start with the red alerts already so webmaster may start getting their shit together.
I have five privacy tools on this browser: uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, HTTPS Everywhere, NoScript, and a free VPN. It was quite tedious to go through each of them before I figured out it was an HTTPS issue.
It's your choice to use those tools to influence your experience browsing free content on the web provided by someone else's servers.
HTTPS is oppressive to those who cannot afford computers powerful enough to run the cyphers on so many connections. Try browsing on a 66mhz bus pentium some time.
The slowest pentium can do about 2 megabytes per second of AES+SHA. The fastest is more like 10. That should be more than plenty when compared to how long it takes to render the same amount of data.

And how much does that computer cost? An Arm SoC is not much...

The picture appear numerous times in the article. If disabling uBlock still didn't let you see it, then you've got some issues with your browser.
No, all of their images return 404 here as well, with ublock off.
I do not use any sort of advertisement blocker, and I also do not see any pictures.
