That's even worse. I'm talking about putting a large image under the article's headline, the way every social media feed does it. Although I hate irrelevant images, the human brain can recognize images faster than it can read text. If articles had a relevant images, you would be able to find interesting articles just by glancing at a masonry grid on the screen.

But in order to do this, the RSS code needs to include the images in first place, and there is no guarantee it will even though the HTML side will usually have it properly marked up.
