Not only are image posts less accessible, they’re much lower effort. This community was much better when it was just structured jokes as text posts. Now it’s getting posts with the less than pointless “rule” crap and it’s slowly becoming yet another s#%$post community and losing what made it special.

    Your two first examples are literally a screenshot of a text joke.

    The one with the buckets is a loose fit, IMO.

    I get your point, I just think the examples you picked work better as counter examples.

      Sure maybe the one with Cher could do without the picture of her, but i think it enhances the joke.

      The one of the text with dad is one of the highest upvoted posts in this community, and just contact name and the position of the iMessage bubbles tells so much, that had it been described in text only, it wouldn’t be a good joke IMO.
