Keep posting them, but we should just copy the text and link to the source instead of screenshooting a couple of sentences like my mom, no? This would save some disk space and power consumption as well.

Power consumption? Takes more power to make a net connection to go to another site, and takes a LOT longer.

Plus, following links drives traffic and provides even more tracking.

Just copy paste the smartfunny words. 99% of the time I'm not interested in the nickname of the person nor their avatar, so you source-link only because it's nice. :)
