I just downvote any uncropped screenshot and ignore the content at this point. Have people really gotten too stupid to crop?
We are in the social media age... yes, people really gotten too stupid for those kinds of things. Same with taking photos of screens instead of making a screenshot.
I can at least understand taking photos of the screen because console manufacturers go out of their way to make it difficult to take a screenshot and get it on your phone.
But cropping literally takes 10 seconds. Or 5 minutes if you're doing it for the first time and don't have an app that can crop.
There are stock apps, but they are usually incredibly bloated. Samsungs' wants you to log in to use it and last time I checked, it literally put ads in between your images.
It was an unlocked samsung phone as well, an S9 to be specific. All the bloat on there is from samsung themselves and it frequently sent samsung ads as notifications (which couldn't be disabled) and had a constant notification telling the user to sign into their samsung account (which couldn't be dismissed or disabled).
The gallery app had ads between the images, that's what I meant.
If that isn't bad bloat, I don't know what is.
The phone showed ad notifications right out of the box and got software updates without issues, so definitely no malware.
Not sure when the gallery thing started but it was definitely the samsung app (which is a system app so you can't do anything to it without root).
The phone is gone now because it got slower over time until it became unusable. Androbench showed that the eMMC was perfectly fine, so that was due to updates.
If you share a cropped meme, are you a sharecropper?
I'd say lazy more than stupid
I do not think people became stupid, but it so easy to post stuff that even the technologically iliterate can now post. Also many people underestimate the amount of people acessing media on their phone. Maybe i am too old to know all options, but i feel like a phone is not the right tool to produce any quality content.
Definitely takes time and effort
It's kinda hard on mobile
