    Just click/tap the link to go directly on imgur. It’s imgur that blocks hotlinking and forbids other sites to display its images. They want people to go on their website, watch ads, stay captive.

    Imgur is a terrible place to host images if they’re not intended to be viewed on imgur.

      Ah, that would explain it then. I didn’t realise it was hosted on imgur (Voyager makes it look like it’s hosted natively). Imgur is blocked in the UK because we’re not much better than America when it comes to authoritarianism, we’re just more subtle.
