It's not often that clicking on a too-large-for-the-viewport image with small text makes the text smaller and harder to read.

For some strange reason it was assumed that if you clicked the image, you wanted the image to shrink to fit in the viewport without any sort of zoom, readability be damned. Instead of zooming in on the image to reduce cognitive load.

My brain responds in a predictable way when I encounter visual anti-patterns such as this: I close the page.
