Rounded corners on images

SznurBart

You think I wouldn't notice? I did. What did you round the corners for? To make them baby-safe??? I'm making a big deal out of this because rounded corners are a tell-all sign that a site is going downhill. My brothers, usable and comfortable UX is endangered right now. Don't go down the same path. Big name social media is not a good role model to follow.

    I came back to bring actual feedback here, now that we had to deal with rounded corners for a while. They're not great: small images, especially on mobile, cut off things that would be otherwise well visible if the corners were not rounded. For example, sending pictures cropped right next to the text obfuscates parts of it. I have to click on it to admire it fully. That's not comfortable at all! I wish I could at least turn it off!
