It's probably so they can get paid for the clicks. Once you open up a photo, you have to click to close it and that counts as activity to their advertisers. I think that is why a lot of places aren't allowing hotlinking. It does make it a big pain to try to read through a thread and have a clue what someone is talking about when you can't see anything.
