I suspect you got them all from the same source. Some websites put code in place to block the embedding of images from their website. Sometimes this is done to prevent you from using the images themselves but more often it is to block the embed due to bandwidth concerns especially if they have had a problem with certain images going viral in the past since an embedded image is delivered to the user via bandwidth provided by the original host of the image. Not a big problem if you have one or two people post you image on their personal blog with a couple hundred views per week each.  If on the other hand the image ends up embedded on a thousand sites or on a site where 10's of thousands of people will view it it can cause a bandwidth problem for the original image host which may require them to upgrade their hosting package to one that is more expensive.

 

Unfortunately it takes time for this kind of code to detect the embed and block their server from serving images to the site where it has been embedded so it may look okay when you first post them but eventually they become broken image links as the original host blocks the embed.

 

On the rare occasion you will get "no-no" images in place of the original image telling you why the image is being blocked, but it still costs them bandwidth to serve up the alternative image so this is very rarely done.
