Huh? We're talking about the article here: www.liberalism.org/p/enshittifi... The first graf references a photo. The second graf references a second photo. The third graf references "these two images." I'm not sure what else you're talking about.

The first paragraph describes the scene w/o mentioning a photo. In context one can infer that link leads to a photo (which it does), but it's not necessary to follow the link & see the photo to understand the paragraph. If one doesn't follow the link, they might miss that a photo is being discussed.
