What's with the image replies?

The only thing worse is when people just post YouTube videos as replies.

Yeah. If you can't spend a couple of minutes to give me your opinion, I certainly can't spend 45 minutes to find out what somebody else's opinion is. That's just not how conversations work. If you have nothing interesting of your own to say, then just say nothing.

I might put in something myself. I find pictures and memes can tell a lot with little writing. Most are some sort of joke or poking a bit of humor at things. Some might be more a GenX thing where only older people might understand for the most part.

Really? Do genX do memes more than the youngins? Id really be interested to know

The arthritis makes it harder to type. The words are too small to read without my cheaters. The length of some posts makes it hard to concentrate all the way through. A meme solves everything.

To be fair, responding to my posts with a pucture/meme probably is the most appropriate response

My sole objection to the practice is that pictures won't load on my phone, so I can't see them.

Last but not least, isn't a picture worth a thousand words??

Depends on the image resolution and color depth, and on the text encoding. Let's not even bring up compression algorithms, they are so different between images and text.

more important is to remember that even if its worth a thousand words doesnt mean those words need to be shared
