I just wanted to add this thread of ideas that I imagine for many it feels like agreeing to a ToS and people's eyes glaze over. Putting it into the news panel (sliding panel, not the thing below it lol which it already is there) would help in that its like three words in large color font and people will actually read that (more likely than small text or ToS text).

Not saying it's perfect but just wanted to add that a large image with a few words is a different style of presentation than the others (ok button and news section). Not that I think SE failed us or anything, they clearly tried pretty hard with a whole page you have to hit ok to lol. Just thinking that an image with a few words may help in attracting a different type of person's attention (like youtube thumbnail) vs people who prefer to read articles without many or any pictures- of course there will be some overlap and some people missed either way XD.
