EDIT: June 17 2026 - This seems to have gone well with no issues, major or minor, so the setting will be left enabled. We will reassess if some issue does come up in the future.
Up until now, the mod team has disabled the ability to add photos or images to comments, as a way to reduce spam and low-effort memes. Recently, several legitimate use cases for photos in comments having arisen, like a case where someone needed help with some brokerage screens and needed to share a screenshot to help explain what they were seeing.
Let's test the waters as a community for a week and see how things go. We'll evaluate the results over the next 7 days.
We are NOT enabling inline videos in comments. That is a new feature being rolled out site-wide and which prompted this experiment.
NOTE: Photos and inline images have **always** been enabled in posts, but by Rule 8, we filter out posts that are **only** a photo, or that are *mainly* a photo with very little text. In posts, photos should support the text content, not the other way around.
