I Love Medium Lists, Except For This One Major Flaw

Medium, must they be so ugly?

Medium Lists are underutilized. At first, I thought they were a great way to organize stories I wanted to read or reference later. Then I learned you could take your list links and put them into your articles.

Just like this:

Isn’t that great? Except for the pictures. My handsome kitty is cut off in two of them. That second one is borderline kitty porn! Who thought this was a good idea?

We are given the option to select the main image for our articles before we publish. Why isn’t this same option available for our lists? Then I could put just one main list picture, like this one:

That’s a much better photo for the list to feature vs that weird card layout of pics. I may even sort the article featuring his sad empty plate face out of view. I swear I do not starve him despite his belief to the contrary.

Am I the only one who hates how Medium Lists handle photos? Would you utilize Lists more if you could select a main image for them?

P.S. Proof that picture above in no way should be mistaken for feline porn. He just wore himself out.

He wants his anti-barf treats. I’d prefer coffee.
