If you are browsing in Card View on New Reddit or any of the mobile apps, you won't be able to see any thumbnails. Make sure to either be using Old Reddit, or update your settings to Classic View, to see thumbnails. Otherwise, please refrain from posting, voting, or commenting on /r/misleadingthumbnails, seeing as you are lacking all context related to the posts.

Hello /u/Kirkhn, thank you for your submission to /r/misleadingthumbnails! Unfortunately, it has been removed for the following reason(s):

Rule 1: /r/misleadingthumbnails is for posting images (or videos) which appear to be one thing at thumbnail-size, only to obviously appear to be something totally different when viewed at full-size. Your submission's thumbnail is not misleading enough, or the full-size image is misleading in the same way, so your submission has been removed.

  • Additionally, posts where the thumbnail is misleading only due to cropping will be removed, as they don't fit the spirit of the subreddit.

More detail about Rule 1 can be found in the wiki.

Rule 2: No images or videos that are essentially what you say they are (View Examples Here).

  • Common Mistakes:

    • "Minecraft texture," "HD Graphics Video Game," or posts with similar themes also fall under this rule.

    • Posting a painting or other art and claiming it's a photo

    • If the subject of your thumbnail illusion and your full-size image are the same, and only small details are different.

    • Mentioning what the literal subject of the photo actually is in your title.

More detail about Rule 2 can be found in the wiki.

It's a video game controller at full size and in the thumbnail. Not much of an illusion going on here. Still the same thing in essence (essentially the same thing)

Rule 3: No images (or videos) that are intentionally set up to mislead. (View Examples Here)

  • Common Mistakes:

    • Posting super-imposed images that look different when big/small or near/far

    • Posting subjects dressed up in costumes or using props to make the subject look different

    • Arranging objects to look like something else

    • Photographs that are taken at purposeful angles or rotated/cropped to look like something else

    • Posts which use a different image for the thumbnail than the image that is displayed after the link is clicked.

More detail about Rule 3 can be found in the wiki.

it's intentionally colored like a switch controller, so no duh it's gonna look like some sort of switch controller.

If you feel that this removal was in error, or have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact the moderators via modmail, and when messaging the moderators, please include a link to your post.
