I feel like I'm missing something given the comments here and on reddit. Do people really not see the text in the enlarged image? (Even enlarging extra) A few are a tad less clear but nothing is unreadable. I'd be extremely impressed if people were not able to read Rio, Istanbul, or London. Is there some collective unspoken agreement going on, am I just an outlier, or am I not uncommon and just no one is commenting?
Viewing both thumb and zoom on a phone, I am either looking at a thumb too resolution to see the e.g. buildings that make up the text, or a zoom in so far that I am looking at a single building and have to scroll to see its part of the text.
Are you on a desktop or super screen or something?
Desktop (macbook Air fwiw). I've even tried zooming in and out to get intermediate values. They don't disappear till after I'm past full screen, and for some of them not ever (I mean the whole word falls off the screen but the negative space is clearly an identifiable letter). Amsterdam and Rome are the ones where I can lose text the soonest.
The only thing I didn't immediately see was Rome, which I honestly wouldn't have spotted unless I saw the thumbnail first. This is on a mobile phone with less-than perfect eyesight.
Yeah I guess we're freaks lol. But it was really surreal given how convincing it is to others, that we're having a very different interpretation. Fwiw, if I zoom in on Amsterdam and Rome I can get them to disappear, although they still stand out in the scene, just become less legible.
