Submission icons, what do you think of them?
15 years ago
I'm talking about when an artist submits a picture, and uploads a custom icon for said picture, instead of using just the default icon (zoomed out version of the picture). Usually they are a zoomed-in portion of the picture, often the face of one of the characters. They usually cut out the naughty bits of the picture, sometimes just because that's how it works out, sometimes because they don't want porn in the icon? And SOMETIMES they contain small, quick text describing what's in the picture.
What do you think of 'em?
Personally, they kind of annoy me. Not like, I'm unhappy with artists for using them - I just would just generally prefer to see a thumbnail depiction of the actual image I'm about to look at. I feel a little less inclined to look at the full version of an image when all I have to go by is a thumbnail that doesn't really tell me anything about what I'm about to see.

I sometimes dislike seeing the custom ones too, however, I watch people who post some content that I don't like, and they usually use the custom ones to hide that and then with text say what's going on, which I appreciate, since I then don't have to look at it.
