In all seriousness, all apps and frontends should to implement countermeasures (if they haven't already) so that you can turn off image previews as needed
Didn't new reddit start having that? Never saw it except when not logged in mind you.
It did, but it was a "premium feature" - paying users would have to "boost" a community to alow them to enable this feature.
Only when enough users boosted, the feature became available. And once that threshold was no longer reached, the feature would go away.
...fun. They really took us for granted, eh.
Also it never worked in my third party app and became some stupid placeholder scrapyard, as you couldn't see the image.
Actually that feature isn't even that much abused
So here is an useless gif
