- dagmx 5y agoisn't it more likely that they're optimizing for their users? The goal is to have a product where people are scrolling past a multitude of media content quickly. Having very small versions of that media immediately display is the UX their users benefit from.
- upbeat_general 5y agoDefinitely this. I still wish they’d have a “show original” button or even detect when you’re staying on an image/zooming in and download the full res then.
