In what way are the images "cruft"?

• marginalia_nu 5y ago
  In the sense that they take almost an entire screen, yet do not convey information comparable to an entire screen's worth of text. The hex of these types of graphics is that they don't actually say a lot at all beyond "one thing is slightly bigger than the other", or "the thing is a bit faster now". There are things that are easier to convey with a picture than with words (like the how much bigger the sun is compared to the earth, "really really big" doesn't quite cut it), but this is not such a case.
