Comparing Apples to Oranges. How about comparing opening YouTube to <video>? Or Google Docs to a .txt file?https://twitter.com/csswizardry/status/1185655647695790081 …

Disagree. The primary goal of both sites is an image. Both sites should prioritize loading an image above all else. Ads and additional features should be lazy rather than prioritized before/at the same level of the image. The same is true of YouTube videos and Google docs.

I don’t disagree on the primary goal for *any* application on serving content, but I disagree on the comparison made. It’s a false premise to any application/platform to a single feature, which happens to be a <img>.

I both agree and disagree, the one thing that I'll agree with
@csswizardry here is that the primary reason the user opened that page was to view the image and that experience is terrible - no matter what additional application UX you end up adding to it.2 replies 0 retweets 4 likes -
Replying to @gregwhitworth @auchenberg and
+1. The meta argument isn't that Imgur doesn't need more than just the image; it's that in the universe of potential ways to deliver all of the above, they've apparently chosen a baroque and ineffective option. It's faaaar away from the Pareto frontier for *any* user defined goal
