Does anyone else also feel... uneasy, bothered, it's hard to express the feeling, by LQIPs? Primarily those that are blurry, my brain wants to figure out what the picture is, even before I recognize it's an LQIP, which is straining and frustrating because... well it's blurry or super degraded. Is it really better than just having a placeholder square with maybe the most prominent color? Or just a good old progressive image?
