As of a few months ago, Reddit no longer allows linking directly linking to their hosted images. You are directed to a pseudo-page that links back to original thread it was posted in.

This sucks because it's now not possible to use the browser's built-in image viewer which has better UX.

I am expecting them to eventually put ads on the page as well.
