It’s very easy to find a tweet, just type like 5 words from it and the account name into a search engine. I did that for this one and took the screenshot myself, since where I saw it it already had jpg compression artifacts.
Why not just link the tweet then? Saying its easy to find is moot since its a waste of time and effort for the most part. Also what if its an old tweet? We shouldn’t have to sift through peoples post history to verify it.
Is there something about screenshots of text make it more likely that someone will read it? If so were doomed as a society.
I don’t see why you’d want to verify whether this specific tweet is authentic or not tho
I was not referring to this one in particular but the collective twitter screenshotting phenomenon.

though I guess that I like a culture of linking sources. But I don’t do it consistently.

Yes, we are doomed as a society because of Twitter screenshots…
