    Maybe they used an AI service to upscale the otherwise small res picture instead of looking for the original ones.

        Guys, you’re thinking about this way too hard. Pictures like this have been floating around the Internet for decades. It’s not fancy ai downscaling or any sort of fingers, they’ve just been JPEGed into oblivion

          Yeah but I have JPEG’d a photo a lot and never seen the text get that swirly. It feels purposeful.

          But, never ascribe malice when the more likely answer is stupidity. You are probably right.
