They monetize the hell out of it now. A few times a day I click an imgur link and the page will show the image for a fraction of a second before forwarding to a full-page ad. It won't last much longer before someone else comes along with something less annoying and fewer ads.

I've never seen a fullpage ad on imgur. They've got sidebar ads, and the occasional promoted image, but never an overlay or popup.

If you're getting the latter, you might want to scan for malware.

I see this every couple of days: http://imgur.com/gallery/AluV1G0

I somewhat doubt it's malware on my computer, because it only happens on imgur.

A while ago, their ad network started to serve .apk to Android users (see https://pay.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1qwb2i/weird_apk_t...). This is way worse than "just a fullscreen ads", since a malware on Android can easily steal your contacts and make you pay a fortune using premium numbers.

Their ads provider are probably doing this without the consent from imgur, but I doubt they'll change ads provider. After all, the one serving the more shady ads are the one paying more.

Never seen a fullpage ad either, although I finally had to add imgur to adblock when they started autoplaying video ads.
