I think it's less annoying with a large group chat to have people react to an image than 20 identical messages. I've seen some do group votes through that (๐Ÿ‘ vs ๐Ÿ‘Ž) which seems like a good use case. Tbh I haven't seen people use reactions much so probably partly because of that they don't bother me.

I guess it would be preferable to getting all the disembodied "x laughed at an image" or "x loved an image" messages without even knowing which image it refers to. One could simply ignore the feature if it were less intrusive.
