Why's that?

Taken from the Admins of Britmodeller (edited for brevity, and I hope they don't object):

"Due to the recent introduction of a new Online Safety Act in the UK, ...it has caused some sites to simply BLOCK UK viewers of their content entirely. 

Imgur is a massive image-hosting site that was a spin-off from Reddit back in the day, and is now its own separate entity offering photo hosting to the rest of the internet for some years.  Until now.  They have taken one look at the requirements of this new law, and decided that it's not for them for whatever reason.  Probably financial, knowing modern business decisions.  The end result is that any and all images that are hosted by Imgur are now no-longer visible to anyone with a UK IP address, as they're geographically bound, allowing them to block a range simply and effectively."

So basically... politics!
The original post goes on to say that obtaining a VPN and viewing from an overseas server is a way of circumventing the issue.

This isn't a political post, just an explanation.
