Comment on iOS Shortcut to upload images to Imgur (since direct uploads are disabled on lemm.ee)

Genuine question: since the images are public either way, what’s the main concern regarding privacy? Having the app on your phone? Imgur getting information about people viewing the image?

I’m not an expert, so I cannot answer properly, but this is (an edit of) what the linked post says:

(…) Imgur (…) shares user and usage data with the worst existing advertising companies, which makes it in little less than spyware.

  I guess it comes down to what kind of data they’re able to get from people viewing the image or the person uploading it.
