Would you prefer it if he just posted an album cover with no indication of what it is instead?

Yeah, you can always hit up Google, but who wants reading someone's post to turn into a research project?
But, is bolding artist names really needed? yeah typing thigns like this can et confusio ngw we for long pstiss posts but is it really so hard to recognize proper nouns?

But when you're bolding an artist's name it does make sense. It's not as if you've chosen to bold some random word.

I think it's pretty clear the only person that cares if an artist's name is bolded is OctaneHugo. Maybe this should tell us something.
