personal petpeeve of mine, that insta-gen as you describe it, is mentally incapable of making/uploading computer screenshots in computer specific subs (e.g. game specific subs). they upload photos of their monitor that look like ass, angled like they're tim walker and shaken like they're driving on cobblestone... almost like we're back in the 00s or something.
it literally requires more effort to post a worse picture and be removeded at than simply pressing print-screen and ctrl-v on the pc.

I wish this were only a problem with kids. I'm a system integrator and I'm constantly asking for screenshots of HMIs for troubleshooting. It's about 50/50 with my current client if it's going to be a jank cell phone picture or an actual screenshot. I think it's an uneducated portion of the population that is too dumb to give a shit. They always existed but now the barrier to posting a photo is finally low enough that they can barely step over it and us early PC users are annoyed by them.
