>we are literally clicking on images filled with text as a way to share… text.

In this case, it sounds like the original post was removed, so the only thing left would be images types of things. Also, does an image/screengrab add any more validity to something rather than text quoted on another page/site?

It’s not about validity, it’s about accessibility. For example in the image there’s a link which can’t be clicked because the info wasn’t included
Just pretend it's your mom bringing you a sheet of paper she printed of the website she wanted to show you, or worse, the ambitious mom that then rescanned the printout so she could email it to you.
But that’s not what’s happening. Why make a dumb scenario?
It's the same state of mind. Some one unwares trying to be helpful.
