Imgur has been a pain in the back of my neck for years because they don't allow access through VPNs, and I do not touch clearnet without VPNs, it's akin to not wearing condom. People that deals with centralized stuff such as Imgur is also publicly screaming they're not using VPNs as well so food for thought.
If this means somehow this community will stop posting content on that cesspool then great news for me, one replacement I can recommend for uploading anything on clearnet is Pomf provided by fellow Fedizen 7666.
And for the love of God stop using Catbox; it's slower, proprietary, blocks proxies, and allows less than half the filesize than lain.la's Pomf, overall trash file hoster.
