Honest question, did anyone actually request rounded corners on inset media?
Or is this a "Can I get the icon in cornflower blue?" scenario from someone on the board?

I tend to find most decisions of this nature are statistics driven. They likely did an A/B test and found that engagement was higher on media with rounded corners than not. Even if it made a 0.5% improvement, that translates into real dollars, so they go with that change. It's also notable that often times, the impact is temporary and engagement reverts to the mean if you were to give it time, but they make the change permanent anyway because they make the adjustment before the reversion.

Drives me crazy that you have to full screen pictures now to see the entire content. I don’t remember if it was the same way with square corners but I notice it a lot more now. Navigation seems clunky and slow.
