Ok, but you know you can resize even on your phone before posting right? Because it even looked large on my iPhone 16 Pro Max.
Images that look the same size on my phone can look wildly different in scale on my laptop. Perhaps those who are technologically savvier know how to get around this issue, but I for one don't.
…thanks for the important tip, Mr cook
How would I know I need to resize it? This is how it looks on my phone (note the “dark mode”):
Yep
Posting spoilers is very childish.
Quick lesson in RTEs (Rich Text Editors) for phones, if the image is as wide as your text its going to show up huge on any other browser. You can also tell because of the image size, in case your image is 1125x2202 basically that means it'll be long and wide across the screen because that translates to the number of pixels used to display the image, 1200x800 is usually a standard size for best displaying on most screens whether phone or desktop, as it'll be a long but not as wide image. Long story short once you get beyond an 800 width it starts to require scrolling unless you have a wide screen. I would even make it like 900x800, so its a bit easier on the eyes, but that is just personal preference. I think the image I just posted earlier was like 1200x1100, and you can see that was displaying fine on a phone.
Happy to help those less technically inclined.
It’s just courteous to post smaller images so it displays best on all displays. Having a tech background I’m just aware of it more because I post and edit on many different devices and have worked with many different technologies since the beginning of the internet basically.
That's fine. I think it's when people start reading ill intent into such things that we're in trickier territory.Just don’t be surprised when someone comments on a post that your image looks huge.

But do what makes you happy. Just don’t be surprised when someone comments on a post that your image looks huge.
Oh yes its a thing. Working in tech I've published a lot of documents and images that are viewable on many platforms. As I always have to be conscious of the devices they will be displayed on I have to make sure that an image that is uploaded isn't going to require a user to scroll too much to view it. So yes its courteous to post smaller images for this reason. Not saying anyone has to follow it, but it is something that many follow when creating content.
In this case I'll apologize for automatically assuming intent. Its just easy to assume though given a specific post and surrounding the topic of box office and the discussion of certain movies falling short at the box office and posters that tend to gloat over that, especially when there is no additional context to go by. So one can see why the post comes across that way.
We all tend to be less charitable to posters whose opinions we don’t share. I find myself doing it all the time (not liking a post I agree with because of its author, not giving the benefit of the doubt even when it’s deserved, etc.), so please know that I’m not calling you out specifically!
