Imgur and UK accounts [View all]

There are an increasing number of posts and comments that are simply images posted from Imgur. Many of us in the UK cannot see them, even if using mobile data as opposed to WiFi. Anyone who is blind using a screen reader may have no idea what the image is either. Can someone either provide alt-text or context? Or some workaround?
I realise it’s a lot to ask for the handful of us this might effect, but there’s an increasing number of posts that for some of us just appear as blue boxes, or for the blind, I’m not sure what their screen reader does. It’s incredibly annoying. I get that this is an Imgur thing, but it’s also just a total lack of context - and more importantly- and accessibility issue.
