In 2009 Imgur was clean, neat and fast. Everyone sane questioned (including in that announcement thread) how that could possibly stay true in the long run. The founder just kept saying "we'll try to solve it if it comes to that", refusing to go into details or presenting anything resembling a plan.
Based on this "commitment" which I would say was either naive or not truthful, the Reddit userbase propelled Imgur to its current position.
