Interesting, I've never seen any behavior like that on imgur. They're usually my go-to host for temporary images. Sorry for the inadvertent gaslighting, but now you really get my point...
For at least 3 years now, probably closer to 5 or more, Imgur have been doing deceptive redirects for "mobile" devices, gaslighting them while leaving "desktop" alone. In fact, it's nearly impossible to get the raw image file on Android/iOS.
I think my older OS was tagged as "mobile" accidentally.
