Did IMGBB go rogue?

I uploaded an image to IMGBB, and it injected a link into the BBcode. I never saw it happen before.

That would be pretty fucked if they did.

Did you try it with another image just to check?

No, this was the 2nd one, first one was clean.

Looks good for me.
SEO at it's finest.

They've gone rogue. First few uploads were fine, then they inserted same link as in OP.

Intriguing. I just did a google dork search and found a post on vk.com from 2020 with the link inserted

vk.com

They've been doing that since dinosaurs roamed the earth.

Just gotta strip it out.

That is crazy. I never knew about this. Thanks for mentioning it here.
