    An image is added to an article to catch the reader’s eyes, so the article gets read. I pointed out that this image didn’t transmit a proper impression of the article.

    If you are as superior as your condescending attitude suggests that you don’t even get a first impression of things, good for you. But us, mortals, will have an impression of the article posted by taking a glance at the thumbnail or the cover of a book, if that were the case.

    Of course, that first impression will change after reading the actual content, but getting the first impression right gets you more people looking at the content.

        Would you prefer the transgender fox Linux mascot named Xenia? 🧐
