I mean, how dare Imgur take money just to promote something so they can keep the site running and able to pay their employees. ugh.
shanabanana
The trailer for the second movie made me laugh more than the whole first movie combined. That's good, I guess?
HowMuchWoodCouldAWoodDuckDuckIfAWoodDuckCouldDuckWood
TY @sarah for calling these out as promoted
hockeybuf123
I mean, if there's gonna be promoted posts I'd rather it be like this, short and to the point.
pythram
Agreed. +1
ImaLoki
Imgur probably gets a good bit of money for these promoted content and they're not intrusive so why are people complaining?
ChipmunkHunk
I mean, it's an ad, yes. But A) You're probably going to see this movie anyway. B) It does not make your life worse to have to click past it
Bhargo
seeing the ad here makes me not want to see the movie
knockoutn336
This is a much better way to handle the promoted posts stuff

The Promoted tag makes me more okay with this.

NO. FUCK THIS MENTALITY RIGHT HERE. This shit is how it starts, you let one in and soon the place will be overrun, these ads are like herpes

They've had these ads for 3+ years
DavosSeaworthTheOnionKnight
Ads are how a site makes money. I think you need to take economics.
Thingamajiggly
Hmmph
WalterMatthau
This is not as bad. Somehow the little button disclaiming that it's an ad takes the sting out. Also, it's not as fucking tone deaf as WBR

Is this the DVR / Netflix generation bitching? I grew up having commercials, so I don't feel entitled to "free" entertainment.

I don't know what people are complaining about. Advertising is inevitable, and I'd rather it be this than a 30 second video commercial.

Actually, this one is ok. Good Job Ted, you actually get how to advertise here. @Sarah how about making advertiser guidelines going forward?

I wouldnt mind it if it didnt keep coming up every time I change pages. AT LEASE put different ads in there
DoingMyKanyeBest
Mhm. @Ted2 this is the first ad I havent dowvoted. Because downvoting ads has so much power, obviously. Its the thought that counts...right?
usernamewillendabrup
Well, you can downvote it, but the promotion accounts don't have a rep counter or a point counter on the individual images

At least it seems like they don't have the auto-play audio/video ads on the side anymore? Lesser of two evils, I suppose.

I just got one reading your comment. So probably not.
TopherCrabtree
Oh they totally still have them. See them every day, most just have a long pause before they start.
WeAreTyrantasaursHearUsCentaur
Report the ads that play audio. They aren't supposed to be there.
TheOldNewSlowFast
They've been there for years. I somehow doubt that.
thestork670
Those ads are probably remnant/backfill that serve via ad networks. Imgur can block them, but only after they show up.
TheOldNewSlowFast
Seriously doubt it. They've always been an issue, and when signing up for ads, as I understand it you can choose not to have audio ads.
thestork670
I work in ad ops. No, you can request that your remnant provider doesn't have audio ads, but they sneak in. They will block when you request
cobysev
I don't see ads on Imgur (blocked at work and I use adblocker at home), so these promotionals are actually posting ads I can't hide from. :(
SilverAura
Lord forbid you support a site you enjoy visiting.
allahuakbar95
Are you seriously stupid? Like on a scale 1- 10 how stupid are you? Imgur is worth 1.861 billion dollars. They dont need my "support"
allahuakbar95
Lord forbid deez nuts fam. People with your type of thinking of following the pop. crowd and not even speaking up about bullshit scares me
allahuakbar95
That's like saying " Shame on you for not wanting to help millionaires get even richer at the cost of yourself" and ACTUALLY MEANING IT. 2/3
SilverAura
Last I checked, Imgur is not being run by a bunch of millionaires, dumbass.
allahuakbar95
Well i guess it's time to check again fuck boi. Look up: value of imgur.... 1.86 billion. Now look up: alan schaff net worth
TehTemplar

AmiAthena
Do you have cookies enabled? Are you using any adblockersor plugins?
dudname
Right? Like most of the users use adblock so they never see any ads. See one and we all freak out. 5 seconds and it supports a site you like
phoenix33
Especially when it's tagged so they can just skip past it if they want.
bigsisbeast
Because people are entitled little shits here.
Tzazi
Hey to everyone complaining, guess what! Promoted posts have been around longer than most of your accounts. Seriously. Its a part of imgur.
FnJUSTICE
Seriously! No one raised a fuss about that back then. It's a free service and it's gotta get paid for somehow. At least this is relevant...
HeyitsGordon
Yup. That's what pays for the site for us. We can hate it, but one additional 'Next' click saves us a membership fee.
peepbutt
That doesn't mean we have to like it; slavery was around long before Lincoln my friend.
FnJUSTICE
Whoa whoa whoa... on the scale of "terrible shit humanity has done", slavery and advertisements are on opposite ends of the spectrum here...
Tzazi
Would you rather have handpicked adds by the staff team or some random ass sidebanner porn shit with "hot singles in your area"? 2/3
Tzazi
I mean honestly. The reason most complain is the imgur hivemind. They need funding somehow and this is by far the least evil option. 3/3
peepbutt
Just because it might not be that bad doesn't mean people have to like it
Tzazi
No but acting like imgur is in the wrong for advertising things that aren't even that bad on the FP to keep things running is dumb 1/2
Tzazi
a company needs money to keep running and imgur gets bigger everyday, and this way isn't that bad. Def does not deserve the hate it gets.2/2
Tzazi
And? I use adblock. To skip past a promoted post takes 1 second of my day. imgur gets funding to keep existing, and I'm supporting 1/2
EvilDustMan
Did you seriously just compare this to slavery? What the fuck is wrong with you.
DoingMyKanyeBest
Its the equivalent of using Hitler in an argument.
Ibetnoonehasthisnameyet
You can't scroll over a freaking ad jeez

You just compared slavery to skippable advertisements...
joehara23
Ted is an overrated Seth Macfarlane cash grab. im okay with imgur ads but i hate ted.
BigAZNMan
Kinda like Microsoft's presence at E3 the past couple years. cash grabs everywhere and a shit ton of backtracking
BrandonianFlynnigan
I mean I liked it but to each his own I guess
Ilooklikeadink
everything seth macfarlane does is the same, same jokes over and over and everything reeks of pseudo-intellectualism.
Galactasaur
I enjoyed it.
Juggman
Isn't technically the entire concept of a movie one giant cash grab? Spend x amount of dollars so you make y amount in return?
pIanetarysociety
whenever somebody doesn't like a movie, it's a cash grab.
justengineeringthings
Technically, all movies are cash grabs from the production studios. so yeah.
pIanetarysociety
there's nothing 'technical' about it. And no, by definition of cash grab, very few movies are.
SurelyNotAWalrus
There is a stark distinction between something cynically made and something poorly made. But I do agree it is thrown around a little much.
TheDarkLordOfTrees
Star Wars was a cash grab
joehara23
No, Lazarus effect wasn't a cash grab, that wa an absolute shit movie(cool concept tho). Ted is unoriginal Picture Peter Griffin replacing
joehara23
replacing ted*
pIanetarysociety
they have similar voices, (obviously) but that's the only think those two characters have in common.
joehara23
Pop culture gag references followed by edgy comedy is a seth macfarlane staple. theyre pretty similar
OzmaAsimov
Definitely overrated. Macfarlane needs to learn that making people laugh uncomfortably is not the same thing as comedy.
loki69
Have you ever heard of shock comedy?
OzmaAsimov
I have. There's a reason it's generally considered among the lowest and cheapest forms of comedy. It's surprise without actual cleverness.
loki69
I agree that it's a cheap form of comedy. If it's shock for shock's sake it is very bad. Otherwise it can be good.
ms2ar15
This just shows not everyone has the same sense of humor. I laughed my ass off repeatedly during Ted.
Sairvous
Mark Wahlberg is a complete piece of shit and I hate him. Just read online about all the awful things he has done. Like attempted murder.
joehara23
you shouldnt be getting downvotes. guys he actually stabbed a hobo. you have a reason to hate him
troasface
If you read into the case, attempted murder is a huge overstep. Assault with a weapon, yes. Attempted murder...no. More famouse people 1/2
troasface
have done way worse and continued to be worshipped. I find death funny, just like people fine Ted funny...Deal with it. 2/2
kruton93
Probably overrated, but I still found it funny. If anything, it's a unique idea (in a good way IMO).
joehara23
I found the first kind of funny at first then I rewatched it and realized wait I've heard these jokes before I watched it the first time
joehara23
I don't know about unique, cause I can easily picture Peter Griffin saying all this shit (lack of originality between McFarlane's work)
Assbandit
I dunno.... I can picture Peter Griffin saying it and it's humorous with context. Ted just seemed crass and unfunny.
6footdildo
unique??? it's called winnie the pooh!
kruton93
Really? You're going to only compare the most generic thing? (Boy befriends bear). Did you even watch the movie?
6footdildo
it's a joke.
kruton93
Oh thought you were the OC

Imgur needs to make their money somehow- don't you want Sarah to be able to go on vacation? I'm pretty sure you can all handle one ad a day.

telepickup
They should stick to banner ads that don't interrupt the imgur experience.
17thspartan
But they are profitable from normal ads already.That means native advertising is icing on the cake,not money they need to keep imgur running

if you started a business, wouldnt you want to make it as profitable as possible? its only 1 pic
SeriousSeamstress
If I'm starting a business I care to make enough to survive and relax once in awhile. But I'm kinda lazy & see no point in being super rich.
PyroBeast
Ok
17thspartan
confuse imgur as being poor and desperately needing this money to survive. They're profitable from just normal ads, already.

6footdildo
alan did not make imgur because he has a PASSION for image hosting, lmao. ppl do shit for money. at least this ad is not patronizing.
Lilshadow48
that "at least" part is the problem, they already fucked up this native advertising idea horribly. People have already decided how they feel
6footdildo
yea that warner bros one really fucked it up. "ATTENTION VIRGINS" tho i LOL'd at the thought that someone thot it was a good idea
idrinkcheapbeer
Agreed. This is Beethoven's 5th Symphony compared to that warner brothers records debacle.
Morebunnies
Thank you. This angsty teen whining "I can't get what I want boo hoo" is fuckin annoying. You are the product. You are the user. Deal.
Skornish
People can make ads like this all they want, but don't expect people to change their opinions because you said so.
17thspartan
At least this one is like 100x better than that Warner bros shit. But yea...take a hint from pornhub, go through usersub first.
Tzazi
the promoted ads give imgur money to keep running their servers, and thats the important thing. imgur is a company. It needs to make money.
17thspartan
They're profitable without native advertising. They have time to figure out a new way to monetize us without annoying us.
Oatz
How exactly does this annoy you? It's 1 ad upon thousands of images. Stuff from r/funny is worse than these. Just click next.
Tzazi
You know why pornhub went through usersub? Pornhub decided to advertise through viral marketing and not paying money to advertise. 1/?
17thspartan
I know, even if they offered, I highly doubt imgur would have accepted their money.
Tzazi
but acting like these Ted ads are evil and the worst thing ever is far from wrong. these ads are much better than ads adblock blocks.
17thspartan
I wouldn't know, I blocked their sidebar ads when they started doing native advertising. They don't need revenue from both.
17thspartan
And like I said, I'm not upset with Ted, I think they should go through usersub like pornhub did. If the ad makes it to FP, get paid.
BuckBoost
But...I like Ted. I'm conflicted...
LuckyICantSeeFarWithThisLeg
That's why I like these. They're not advertising an unaccredited online college, expensive steak knives, or weight loss pills. I like Ted.
MaladaptedMedic
If I wasn't going to see it anyway, this ad wouldn't change my mind. If I was planning on seeing it, this ad doesn't change anything either
LuckyICantSeeFarWithThisLeg
It's not necessarily trying to change your mind. It is however reminding you the movie is coming out.
1skitzomonica
I didn't know there was a Ted 2 until I saw it, so it changed something :/
Tzazi
You know what this ad does do though? It gave imgur money to keep on running the website so your ass can keep on using imgur!
17thspartan
But theyre already profitable from their normal ads.So native advertising doesnt play a part in keeping the website running,its extra money.
17thspartan
Native advertising is extra money,not because imgur is poor http://techcrunch.com/2015/06/02/imgur-introduce-native-ads-and-new-mobile-apps/
clln86
Are you sending Imgur money to keep running? No? Well, these guys are.
Elendil004
Do they give us that option? I'd take that option over this shit.
theaterofdreams
I think it has less to do with keeping things afloat and more about making more money, which is fine by itself. But there is a difference1/2
theaterofdreams
between ads and corporate content posted alongside normal content
lordmaxwell
I will gladly pay to not see any promoted posts. Ever.
clln86
Maybe that's something Imgur should look into. I'm sure it has been discussed.
TyrionLannisterTheImp
Yea, this.
madeanaccounttosaythis
I kinda understand all the hate these are getting, ads are always regarded in such a way, but... it's a click away to go to the next. Cmon.
Luna501
I was paying for Imgur Pro for nearly a year to help keep it running, then they took that option away. :/
MaladaptedMedic
this is native advertising. extra money for imgur. regular advertising covers imgur's running costs sufficiently.
[deleted]

MaladaptedMedic
because they had maybe 4 promoted posts all last year. And 10 now in the last 2 weeks
b00h00
And should the company have to stop there? It's totally within their rights to want to turn an (increasing) profit.
causality
Yep, completely within their rights. It's also completely within ours to tell them to go fuck themselves.
b00h00
Get off imgur. Seriously, if this is your attitude, stop using the site.
TheUniverseWhataConcept
Of course it's within their rights. It's just also lame and annoying.
GaryFreakinOak
Well, thank you Imgur for at least telling us it's promoted. @Ted2 maybe consider giving us something we can use.
rshackleford
yeah this doesn't seem so bad. it clearly says promoted and they are a business - watever
MrPredator
I'm a slippery slope person. I want to make sure this isn't done where every other image in the FP stuff is "promoted" with hidden stuff.
GaryFreakinOak
@Ted2 Good on you guys for changing to a usable reaction gif.
Coltx45
I propose this is the new standard of Imgur ads. The posts must be useable to some extent, not just some stupid indie band poster.
Cassiraa
@sarah This was a good solution. Thank you.
TheEmperorOfSanFrancisco
also, click on the promoted tag.
coenearts
Was this comment promoted too? So its ok to do something lame so long as you tell people you're doing it and they can't do shit about it?
GaryFreakinOak
calling everyone virgins and condescendingly giving us a banana.
GaryFreakinOak
No, I'm not promoted content. Imgur needs to do something to earn money, at least THIS time they are being honest about it instead of
coenearts
Their money or lack thereof is their problem. Our problem is that its a site that has introduced features we don't like.
techkid6
Genius, without money, there is no site, which is OUR problem. This compromise at least lets them make money ;)
coenearts
If they are doing this then I do not care. I'd rather have a site that I enjoy for a short time than one that does this and lasts.

It did actually, it just was kinda hidden in the corner.

Sometimes they showed it, sometimes they didn't. For me, 2 out of the 3 Warner bros posts didn't say promoted...anywhere.
heyjude168
Yeah, but most people were going to the WB Post from a link in another Post. So technically, that's just free press, not promoted?
whitepolarbear
i think if you went straight to the link, it wouldn't show promoted. Only if it was showing on the FP. Imgur looks like they are
17thspartan
I don't know what it was, just that it didn't show promoted. This one does a much better job of it, so they're moving in the right direction
whitepolarbear
making an effort to be more transparent in showing that content is being promoted since people seemed to have had issues spotting it

I don't get why people bitch about these so much. They're obvious and you can just ignore them. imgur has to play their server bill somehow.

What do they need money for? Don't they know this is a free site?! (/sarcasm)

You might see a few different ones as you browse, but you should only see each one once.
Natsumori
What I'm wondering is how many different ones. I get that I won't get repeats, but I don't want to see 40 unique ads/day.
spatrizi
We haven't figured that out yet, but its highly unlikely it would ever be anywhere near that number.
Heketon
I've seen this on three times today, though.
spatrizi
Hmm, were you signed in each time?
Heketon
:| 8|
spatrizi
Shouldn't happen regardless, but that helps us try to isolate the issue.
Heketon
Oops.

Why was my "HEART" or "LOVE" already pre-checked? I don't need that in my Fav's for crying out loud. I was just going to pass by, but 1/2
DidItForScience
mine wasn't?
Tankdoggy
You may not have same configuration, apparently using addon's to block sound and sex ad's can cause issues, they are working on it now
DidItForScience
I have adblock plus installed on chrome. What are you using?
Tankdoggy
ABP, No Script (it has imgur.com allowed), Ghostery, and though it doesn't matter for this discussion OneTab.
Tankdoggy
2/2 now I have to un-fav, and downvote.
Tankdoggy
3/2 AND they took away the downvote since the hour I left this comment.

We're trying to figure this out. It's not intentional, doesn't happen for everyone, and we can't reproduce it. Are you using an adblocker?

Was pre-favorited for me. Using IE11 at the moment because I was too lazy to open my big FF session, so no blockings of any kind. Win 8.1.
Natsumori
I'm chrome and ABP. No auto-fav.
wineandcats
imgur detectives are on it
Tankdoggy
My current profile is Chrome, using Noscript (but imgur is allowed) and yes, I use ADP and Ghostery due to sex ads and sound ads on imgur.
spatrizi
Thanks Tank. We try to keep those sex and sound ads off but they still manage to sneak through. We're trying to fix this, tks for the info.

I'm using ABP on Firefox, didn't have this post pre-upvoted/favorited, just putting that out there

I also had this prefavorited. And when I come back to it, it's still favorited. It's really annoying. I don't like ted, pls don't.
spatrizi
Yeah, definitely not supposed to happen. Mind sharing what browser/OS you're using, and are you using any adblockers?
