I believe you're talking about NIP-94? It's for image validation.

At first, it was CAUSING me problems seeing images, so I figure it causes others trouble too.

So I've been taking the time to delete the extra parameters.

Got the TLDR on why I shouldn't?

Clients that do image or video validation can confirm that the image or video matches the hash. Verifying that it hasn't changed or been changed by anyone.

Hmm. Interesting.

Protects against someone swapping the image?

I wouldn't have figured that a problem or vulnerability.

How do you fix this

Fix the extra URL Parameters? (You're not seeing images correctly?)

If that's the question, updating your client may help.

Fix image switching? Don't delete the new URL Parameters when uploading like I've been doing.
