I've done this before. it's funny when the users are all, "why??!" and to respond with, "because you asked for it!"

Usernames removed to prevent brigading

What is this gatekeeping nonsense? We live in the free world. I don't want that reddit "anti-brigading" crap here.

Post breaks web accessibility by withholding web connectivity: it needs a link to source.

Images of text break much that text alternatives do not. Losses due to image of text lacking alternative such as link:

usability
- we can't quote the text without pointless bullshit like retyping it or OCR
- text search is unavailable
- the system can't
  - reflow text to varied screen sizes
  - vary presentation (size, contrast)
  - vary modality (audio, braille)
accessibility
- lacks semantic structure (tags for titles, heading levels, sections, paragraphs, lists, emphasis, code, links, accessibility features, etc)
- some users can't read the image due to lack of alt text (markdown image description)
- users can't adapt the text for dyslexia or vision impairments
- systems can't read the text to them or send it to braille devices
web connectivity
- we have to do failure-prone bullshit to find the original source
- we can't explore wider context of the original message
authenticity: we don't know the image hasn't been tampered
searchability: the "text" isn't indexable by search engine in a meaningful way
fault tolerance: no text fallback if
- image breaks
- image host is geoblocked due to insane regulations.
