Am I the only one who gets annoyed when people post huge, un-cropped screenshots of their art in the showcase?

I mean, it's a digital art showcase, but I keep seeing these massive 4000px wide images where the actual painting is a tiny square in the middle and the rest is just their desktop with a million open toolbars, and it makes it impossible to actually see the work on my phone.

Honestly it drives me nuts too. Tbh I just want to see the art, not your whole desktop setup and twenty open browser tabs. Ngl it feels like they're showing off their screen more than their actual work. Makes you have to zoom and scroll forever on a small screen. Just crop the picture, it takes two seconds.

Oh wow, @mitchell.wade... I actually used to do that, but you're totally right. It really is annoying to scroll past all the clutter.

Hold on, seeing the setup kinda gives context. Ngl, it's cool to see someone's workspace and what gear they're actually using, plus the clutter can make the screen feel more like a real artist's desk.
