I feel like it just creates a potemkin village where we have communities filled with content that nobody interacts with or cares about.

I find them useless because you often lose the necessary title and post text that accompanied the image, plus you always lose the relevant discussion. This last bit is almost always the most engaging part of the post.
I suppose they could be useful in adult communities, or for memes and shitposting where titles and text are either redundant or useless.
All in all, I say we get rid of them.
