I wrote a story on Intermittent Fasting and took pains to avoid the “alarm clock on a plate” cliche cover photo. An outside (non Medium ) publication bought my story. When they republished it, they used the same “alarm clock on a plate” image that’s already been used on a billion other IF articles.

Can we also call a moratorium on “two hands curving to make a heart shape”? Because nothing screams unoriginal and super twee quite like those.
