As a solution for that, larger image/video preview while being in the comments would work well I think. So only if image was very high res (and maybe not even in that case) you'd need to click on it to see it properly.
The only problem is convincing people to use it. From a technical standpoint, it's working fine! Don't give up on it just because it didn't explode overnight.
Man up.
it's just a meme, family.
I'd prefer that, clicking on posts title leads to comment section instead of directly going to posts link
But then you'd have to click twice to read the article or see the picture, which could be inconvenient...
