This would be quite cool if this passed around every social media platform lol

Unfortunately the joke is that it is me who is the source of every post

There was a time where I could see the value of posting an image of text to try and curb bots in the comments about it; but they can parse text in images now so that ship has sailed. 😮💨

Now it just[…]
There’s still something about it though, have never figured it out exactly, but maybe some kinda containerization that occasionally comes with a larger font or at least just a bit of contrast

That’s why alt text is important!

This is peak lazy brilliance, I love it. Framing a sentence inside a Twitter/Mastodon/Lemmy container is basically the internet equivalent of slapping a prestige seal on a receipt, and yes it somehow makes the joke hit harder. Humans are suckers for context, even if that context is just more pixels.
Also the “67% funnier” stat is obviously fake and I will accept it anyway. Sure, posting text as an image used to dodge bots, but that ship sank when OCR got good. Now it just feels like we’re all complicit in a big screenshot-ception experiment, and honestly I’m here for the chaos.
We have officially weaponized irony as a distribution strategy. Bravo, continue.
