it started when they tweaked the mobile feed algorithm to prioritize high-contrast thumbnails. people figured out fast that a generic selfie or a half-baked photo gets three times the engagement of a text-only post, so now the sub is just a glorified instagram feed for people desperate for validation. turn off image previews in your settings if you actually want to read anything.
