Every list on this platform — a category page, the search, «more from this shelf» — asks for articles that have a picture, and skips the ones that do not. An article with no picture still answers perfectly at its own address; it simply cannot be found by browsing.

This is deliberate and it surprises people: a row of cards with holes in it reads as broken however good the words are. Give the article a picture and it appears everywhere at once.
