Yeah. I swear to god every image i've ever seen on twitter is like, weirdly zoomed in on a random point so you can't even preview stuff without fully opening it.
yeah it's amazingly shitty, instead of generating a scaled-down version of your image as your thumb, like any other sensible platform would, it attempts to focus on an "interesting portion" and more often than not, fails fucking hard and zooms into a point that makes the thumb unintelligible. Screenshots are the biggest offenders. You think the entirety of the text is going to be shown in your tweet, but nope, twitter zoomed into the screenshot and now your jokey joke doesn't work unless people click on the image.
