Because:

    a) sites go down and disappear
    b) sites get censored / taken down by random acts of god

Yes but surely imgur is more prone to that, given its more lucrative surface area? And either way, wouldn't archive.is or web.archive.org be a better choice, given that both have big infrastructural systems that are very literally designed from the ground up to avoid data loss?
There was an alternative frontend for imgur in show hn the other day too...

like teddit and nitter but for imgur

Imgin?

If using firefox, try Redirector extension to redirect all imgur links to imgmin.
