IIRC people used to take advantage of free google photos by uploading segments of larger files pretending to be photos. I believe there were even front ends that handled everything. But eventually they figured out to re-encode the image on upload which ruined the game. They could probably use the same tool against text but it would be a lot easier to workaround.
