My images don't load on mobile

My images don't load on mobile when I visit my website that uses dropbox direct photo links. The desktop site works fine.

I hate to say it, but I believe the switch to dl,dropboxusercontent is temporary at best.
Sooner or later, Safari will close that hack. I imagine other browsers will follow.
As others have mentioned, it's the raw=1, the redirect, they dislike.
I intend to keep my images at DB for storage.
Meanwhile, I'm going to ImageKit.
Their free plan allows 20 GB per month, well under my needs.
Good luck, guys.

Having already been through this the first time they deprecated links I’m of a similar opinion. The lack of transparency on this issue is also very troubling and furthers my concern that the workaround will also break.
