Mr. Reddit: oh, that's sweet,.

I second that. It should be a pretty easy add-on.

If you could share it with some of your friends, that would help too. Maybe the more we pester them, the more they might listen.

I got the idea to do this while browsing earlier today. A lot of people have been posting images, and I can't always get help to figure out what they are.

Signed.
C'mon people, don't just upvote- go sign!

i think it is hard because anyone should describe what the pic is,

the only solution would be to use AI to decipher what a pic is.
EvilChocolateCookie [OP] 1 points 1y ago
We know how useful AI can be. I'm tired of people getting angry with me because I want to know what they posted

also this question may be posted on r/TheoryOfReddit and /r/help

Already tried a bunch of times. No luck.

Only good thing is that we have some saints over at /r/TranscribersOfReddit

We should send those people over to the Jeopardy subReddit. You wouldn't believe the amount of images that get posted over there, and the amount of people who get upset because I ask what's in the picture

That's a great idea! We'll put them on our list of folks to reach out to :)

I've signed but honestly don't think it will go anyware. If you hit your goal, how are you going to show this to reddit?

There's also subreddits for bugs and ideas, (I believe the sub is called r/ideas) for reddit, you could try there.
