What's the downside of sharing the url of the image instead?
Try linking to "img.imgur.com" instead.
please consider not using imgur.it does not return the image even if the url directly points to it and does not work correctly with a lot of browsers.ty
I'd host those images on something other than Imgur, some of the images there are missing.
"direct" links to an image uploaded sometimes/usually redirect to imgur page, with lots of ads and shitty content, obnoxious, animated overlays that block out part of the image on mobile, etc
http://imgur.com/ is guilty of this
Don't use imgur, it blocks half of the Internet.

Could you kindly rehost those on imgur for people that don't want to play in walled gardens?
You should avoid using Imgur. Their links don't work on mobile correctly. It crashes my browser.
