I'm not sure how the pics/subtitled are crowdsourced, but I'm wondering if it'd fare just as well simply using the OGP protocol? ie, the preview cards we see in most apps/platforms where links are posted. And if they don't have the OGP[0] tags, it could fallback to the crowdsourced solution. Or even let users choose which should be their default, and the ability to swap between the two?
