I find this very weird.
On one hand you got text, which is very accessible and very efficient and easy to translate for non-native speakers.
On the other, you got photos of text which is inefficient, hard to translate and not easy to read compared to just text.
So what gives? Why do people use photos of text instead of text?
I hate seeing this with classified ads. Just earlier today I saw one for a car where they just uploaded a screen recording of them scrolling through the description of the same listing on some other platform. I finally had to say “fuck that” after the third loop or so.
