    1. Of all the weird places people on the internet get their news from, Imgur is the oddest, weirdest, most unlikely, most un-sourced one.

    Like this is intended as a news post. No sources. Where do these images come from? Who is the person who posted? imgur.com/gallery/yyu5p

      At over 70k views in 15 hours, this is a 'viral news post'. What is it's accuracy? How many people take it as true w/no research?

        Even if that post is 100% true, maybe the next one in this format won't be? Should we be worried about this? Are there news orgs on Imgur?

          You know what would be a fun news org project actually? Fact check imgur.com/topic/Current_Events for a month.

            Anyway, Imgur brought me to someone trying to burn the worlds largest bonfire or something like that, so overall win facebook.com/Bypatrioten.Aalesund/videos/vb.206367702876936/578835572296812/?type=2&theater

              This pile of burning wood: sponsored by an oil company. 2 helicopters. A setup for commentators. Is this a sport I didn't know about?

                People sharing news by screenshot-ing a page, writing a summery and putting it on Imgur remains weirdly fascinating imgur.com/gallery/JrtMtjB

                  The funny thing is that they've done it so that sharing the imgur page looks almost exactly like sharing the NiemanLab story.
