No Pics, Just Punchlines: Why Nkahoot Is Proudly Image-Free
Nkahoot is the only satirical news site where the headlines are hot, the satire is sharp, and the image count is a proud, pixel-free zero. That’s right — no stock photos, no infographics, no JPEGs of politicians mid-blink. We don’t use images. Not for:
Why? Because we believe in the power of words, wit, and whatever your imagination can conjure when we say “Elon Musk riding a Roomba into Congress.”
📊 The Numbers Behind the No-Image Movement
According to 2025 media analytics:
- 68% of online articles include at least one image — usually a stock photo, infographic, or a politician pretending to care.
- 32% go image-free — and they’re not just surviving. They’re thriving.
- Image-free articles had 12% longer average reading time.
- Readers were 18% more likely to finish an article without visuals.
- Bounce rates were 22% lower for image-free satire blogs than for image-heavy news sites.
Translation? People stay longer when you don’t shove a JPEG in their face. And here at Nkahoot, we’re all about long reads and short attention spans.

📣 The Real Reasons We Don’t Use Images
- We Trust Your Imagination – You’re smart. You’re funny. You don’t need a picture of a handshake to understand satire about corporate mergers.
- We Avoid Clichés – No more stock photos of “diverse teams smiling at laptops.” We respect you too much for that.
- We Prioritize Speed – Images slow down load times. Our jokes are fast. Like, “Congress passed a bill without reading it” fast.
- We’re Mobile-Friendly – No images means faster scrolling, cleaner layout, and fewer awkward zoom-ins on someone’s forehead.
- We’re Focused on the Punchline – Every pixel we don’t use is a punchline we do.
🏁 Final Word: Satire Doesn’t Need a Slideshow
At Nkahoot, we believe that words are enough. We don’t need images to make you laugh, think, or scream into the void. We just need a headline, a punchline, and a reader who’s ready to imagine Elon Musk launching a startup called “SpaceKale.”
We didn’t forget. We chose chaos. And statistically, it works.
