Honest answer: When hubski was in infancy we didn't embed images. I started doing it as a way to show to others that they could. The habit just sort of stuck with me. Some of my favorite posts are things like photo essays and other original content. I guess I hope a newer user sees it and thinks, "cool, we can do that here."
