I feel like we got that initial batch of photos from James Webb and nothing else. I’ve tried looking for more and don’t even know if they’re releasing more. It’s been handled a abysmally

A lot of observations were put off due to the "sticky" motion controls for MIRI. Also keep in mind that because JWST is not a visible light instrument, many of its observations may not be sexy enough for mainstream press. The kind of observations for which it is best suited are just a lot of data that must be computationally analyzed to make sense of it.
But hey, nearly all the raw data is available for download, so if you want pretty pictures, all you have to do is learn to perceive streams of IR data.

Yeah that’s what I’ve seen before - I’m just commenting that they handled the PR with the general public very poorly.
I’m not saying they “owe me” anything like other commenters feel the need to say.

They don't owe you photos to post on your facebook. Science and data is for people who actually know what they're looking at. People who just clap and look at pretty colors can do the leg work to go to the sources to get them.
