When Imgur was created I doubt that much thought went into why it's so difficult to build a good image hosting site. There's no profit in it. You need to add a social layer, or some other hook that make people stick around and watch ads. As storage and bandwidth has become cheaper, it makes sense that a site like Reddit just went ahead and did their own image hosting. Imgur has become disconnected and needs to find its own audience, which is has, it just so happens that their audience is terrible. 4chan looks downright cheerful compared to Imgur.
Maybe they managed to carve out a niche? One that could be profitable if they get rid of X amount of storage, hence deleting NSFW content and older anonymous uploads.
I couldn't care less about their discussions. I remember some years ago taking a look there and it was super eerie, because the people where discussing images posted to reddit without having any context whatsoever.
“They are like rats living in a sewer. They feed off of the shit that gets pumped through it but have no concept of the fact that it’s simply a piece of infrastructure for a large city above them.”
I do not agree with throwaway accounts. They should go away entirely.
You are being just as "toxic" in your motives.
