It's simple to use images for tracking purposes (which is why many email clients hide images by default)
More use (benign) cases with sharing images on nostr I can think of
- analytics (how many times has my post been seen? What countries do my users live in? What clients do they use?)
- A/B testing: display 2 different images and see which has a better engagement rate
- put image behind a paywall (zap post to see image)
- localisation ( for text inside image, determine most likely language user is using)
- experiments (e.g. display different images based on readable metrics, e.g. display โจ for Amethyst users and ๐ฉ for all others)
- countdown (use a gif and the current date to display a countdown animation that always stays up to date)
- display real time data

quoting nevent1qโฆl5lfCopy and pasting image URLs is super nice, but if your client automatically displays them, you might be at risk of leaking your IP and user agent ๐
