My theory is that cropping is intended to require interested users to click on the image to reveal it, thus generating engagement data.

- rgoulter 5y agoMore likely to avoid the UX of 1x5000px sized images or so, I'd think.
- jazzyjackson 5y agoWell you have to have a limit, and people do post very tall comic strip images, there might be something to the fact that Reddit Twitter and Facebook all do some auto crop on the timeline - I think it’s because they don’t want the extra whitespace in the timeline, but pumping engagement numbers by making users click to see the whole meme wouldn’t surprise me.
