Is your feature request related to a problem?

I noticed that certain ad blockers might be blocking the thumbnail images in the Content Helper Dashboard Widget, as the URL they originate from contains the parsely.com string.

Describe the solution you'd like

Create a WP REST API endpoint that serves the images, or find an alternative solution that works.

I guess this mostly impacts editorial users? My thought is that it's probably not a huge problem.

If we really want to solve it, I think a better approach (instead of proxying through the REST API) would be to either fallback to or directly use the Jetpack Photon API for the images.

This is a visual glitch, but it doesn't have any impact besides that. It does not hinder any functionality.

There are a different number of workarounds that can be employed here, but I haven't decided which way to go with this yet.
