Indentured servants. Exactly how oligarchs prefer their workforce.

imgur is also in a downward spiral of entshittification though. No uploading without an account, and all old images uploaded by people with no accounts are going to get deleted.

They want to be a social media site now, not an image hosting site.

As far as I understand it the block is only enforceable on chromium browsers. So firefox is unaffected.

I read the news about google wanting to do this some months ago, and I instantly switched to firefix from chrome. It was a very good decision.

Sure, but Trump was already popular among the voterbase even before he entered politics, mainly on account of his reality shows. His unashamed pathological childish narcissism was seen as charismatic to the voters, a phenomenon that DeSantis can't really replicate to the same degree.

It is obvious that DeSantis is using the strategy of running a campaign on pure unadulterated hatred as a substitute for his lack of charisma in the eyes of his voters. A frightening testimony to the state of US politics that such a strategy is even seen as viable, but he does face the problem that the GOP has turned into a personality cult by their own design, and a large chunk of their voterbase are already invested in the cult of Trump. Hatred alone isn't going to make them change their cult leader, especially since Trump isn't exactly lacking in the hatred department either.

Problem is that it is not just on the subject of cheating on your spouse that this is possible, any photographic evidence of a person committing an actual crime will also become worthless.

Because money.

But that also blocks "non-pornographic NSFW content".

You can avoid it completely right now by simply joining one of the less crowded instances instead.

Unfortunately it currently isn't possible to block instances.

Kenshi, so no. If I were lucky I would manage to live as a half starved beaten up slave, but most likely probably dead after a single day.

I definitely agree with that, and I really don't have a good answer on how to create a financially secure image hosting service. But I do think that criticism of how they are approaching it on imgur at the moment is legitimate. In particular their intention of deleting pictures uploaded before the deadline by non-account users. This will only add to the unfathomable amount of link rot going on atm all over the internet.
