Are you coming back to inline imeta as well? :) I have the exact same feeling about it.
I never had a problem with it, other than weird url parser differences
I hate the fact that people copy paste image urls outside of our clients (we could bring imeta together) and all the imeta info is gone.
yes that is a nice benefit
Maybe we can do a new uri standard for blossom (server info + imeta) and make that the main thing on Nostr. In that way, we can avoid interference with existing URL params on images and adds the ability to figure out which server to use when downloading hashed images/videos.
