I’ve basically stopped using the site for all the same reasons. I think it is because their engagement by real human users is near zero. In order to keep it freshfor whoever is left, like seniors hoping for an occasional pic of their grandkids, they fill it with the garbage

While I like what they stitched together, it has nothing to do with meta ... at the end of the day, any camera can do the same

I was wondering if you go this route, how do you dispose of the liquid after? Once the liquid evaporates, dust is left behind.
