That's what I'm saying, some creators are uploading through the official app, which permits NSFW uploads through the Reddit uploader (or it's an oversight). The Reddit website does not permit you to upload NSFW content via the Reddit uploader, so there's a hole there for everyone as well.

I'm not sure what will fill that, as-is I have no plans to move Apollo's image uploader, but if you find somewhere suitable that you do like, you can always upload from the Safari app, grab the URL of your uploaded content, and submit it through Apollo.

Huh? How does Imgur die in 8 days?

Also, Imgur will be erasing ALL content uploaded anonymously, and from now on you'll need to be a registered user to upload in general

They didn't say that at all, where are you reading this stuff? They said they're removing inactive content from anonymous accounts, that means if something you uploaded doesn't get viewed for some amount of time it will be removed, that has nothing to do with uploading content today. If you upload something today, at some point in the future if no one views/interacts with it for some period of time and it crosses into the threshold of "inactive" it may be removed, but that's a different thing all together than what you're describing.

Imgur isn't deleting all images not tied to an account, they're removing inactive images (those that haven't been viewed/interacted with for a period of time).

The word four words before what you emphasized is the key that you're missing. There was also never any mention of the requirement that you think is now missing.
