It blocks many more countries than just the UK because it's the lowest effort way of fighting "AI" scrapers.
imgur was created as a sort of protest against how terrible most image hosting platforms were back then, went down the drain several years later, and it's now just like they were.
It turns out that running free common internet infrastructure at scale is both hard and expensive, unfortunately. What we really need is a non-profit to run something like imgur.
