Looks like something imgur would slip into our feeds to help steer our thoughts away from the fact that they're just a bunch of monkeys in a 2 car garage clacking away at computers.
Yeah, they disabled it for the servers but everything hasn't recovered yet. Kinda disappointing, don't think I had time to qualify for the other 3 trophies.
The trophies are their way of gathering data about you to sell to advertisers. I don't get why you all are so hung up on fake Internet trophies. They sucked you all in good this time 😂
The same reason people are "hung up on" "fake internet trophies" all over the internet. Though, in the video game world, they're typically called "achievements", except on playstation, where they are also called "trophies". Not to mention, even "real" trophies can simply just be bought and have whatever put on them, so why are people so hung up about those???
these ones mentioned in the gallery post: /gallery/IzFNEob - one is for submitting a post with #ticket - and no one seems to know what the other 3 mean.

How Imgur deals with the servers:

Was there a new feature embedded in that cacophony of failures?

I don't think they really care, April Fools day is basically testing a bunch of stuff on production.

If that’s true, then that’s really messed up

"Hey, do the servers have enough capacity to handle all the extra traffic we're going to get for this event?" "Who gives a shit?"

What was the "event", though. I saw 5 to 1 upvotes, but that was all.

Looks like it stopped. My meh button is gone and posts don't have hundreds of points with 18 views

I was wondering how I got most viral with only 9 upvotes

Never saw a meh button. Meh.

It was kind of funny when the original cast of Imgur HQ did the meh button, but the reboot staff wanted to do it too and …. Well…

What other trophies?

I feel like I'm going to be mad. I like my pointless trophies, I hit like 7k on the counter thing

I said as much in another comment, they wanted high engagement with a new app rollout and they hid everything behind interactions.

I just got the yellow one just now for some reason. Who knows what's going on
DontAskMeAboutMyUsernameOkay
Yeah they just gave me the yellow and green one, no blue. Guessing the blue one was for like, getting front page or something
