UX Disclaimer
This subreddit was created, and is still best experienced, via classic reddit, seen via old.reddit.com, where the thumbnails are most misleading. If you are browsing via new reddit only, their "classic" view is the only way to appreciate this subreddit, and even then it will deliver different results, so your mileage may vary. Other new reddit users and mobile users... browse at your own risk.

r/misleadingthumbnails Rules
Only post images whose thumbnails appear to be something different than the full-size image itself. No posts where the thumbnail is misleading only due to cropping.
If an image can be posted to /r/confusing_perspective or /r/Pareidolia, please reconsider posting here.
For examples of true misleading thumbnails, check the subreddit wiki.
An example of a post breaking this rule can be found here
"Minecraft texture" or posts with similar themes also fall under this rule and will be removed.

Superimposed images also fall under this rule and will be removed
This applies to any screenshots of posts on any social media.
Doing so hides the thumbnail. NSFW posts should be flaired as such instead.
Posts with low-effort titles will be removed
Moderator note
Moderators reserve the right to remove content they deem harmful to the sub.
