I’m on a slow connection. The ad images loaded first before the actual content.

The company is prioritizing ads over user content and I can see no world where users desire this.



The "users" are the ad exchanges that are buying ad space on imgur. They probably have contracts and SLAs about how slowly ads are allowed to be loaded. In a pinch, ads will always be loaded first. Happens on every site.
