*sigh*
No matter how good the blogpost or article itself might *actually* be, if I spot, or suspect, that it has a slop header image, I probably won't read it.
Sure, perhaps I am missing out, but that is a boundary for me.
I appreciate that not everyone has the time, skill, or spoons to create or search for a CC-licensed image. My approach is just not to use a header image, which is a simple and free approach.

in reply to Neil Brown • • •For the last 25 years, I've relied on RSS for a lot of blogs that I read regularly.
If some of those have adopted slop images, I won't necessarily know, as I don't see their images.
And, if your blog does not have (full text, please) RSS, please do consider adding it! It is the future.
And the past.

in reply to Neil Brown • • •honestly, I'd prefer everyone just fucks off with the pointless images entirely. Sure, images that are actually relevant? Fine. But if you could just slap in a stock photo or slop photo? You don't need that image at all.
Words. They do work.
