This image, and post #11190034 are made with patterns that cause the Twitter thumbnail algorithm to make thumbnails that appear different from the full image. In this one, the Twitter thumbnail shows a completely white image except for the black text. I've seen this sort of thing in use on 4chan, but there it's usually two separate images: one that shows up in the thumbnail and one that shows up in the full image. I don't know if there's already a tag or phrase for this, so I'm tagging it with "thumbnail_algorithm_exploit".
