But just because Reddit did it, doesn’t mean it was wrong.
Screenshots provided context, a compatible format, more difficulty to edit(not hard, but way more difficult than swapping words around in a copy/paste).
Also if you linked a presidential tweet, Instagram post, or other social media… There is a large percent of people who will not be able to access it due to not having an account.
I understand wanting a link to the source, but I can’t think of any realistic reason a copy/paste would actually be better than a screenshot other than assistance software. Which is important, but I don’t think it alone outweighs screenshot benefits

It’s not a compatible format with screen readers. I’d say use a site like the Internet Archive maybe? ~Cherri
