For the first time ever, when i screenshotted it said “Wait! Don’t screenshot! this post looks better when you share it.” I’ve screenshotted plenty before and never seen this. Are they really that desperate for interaction?

    It’s probably on the app, apps like snapchat implemented this feature a couple of years ago to notify the other user that a screenshot was taken.

    Now that I’m thinking of it, It’s a possibility the application is not actually detecting a screenshot, but that the buttons have been pressed to create one. So perhaps one could circumvent that if you could edit which buttons to trigger a screenshot. I’ll google it, it’s intriguing me

        Yeah, and it’s fucking bullshit. There are thousands of valid reasons to screenshot that don’t exclude actually sharing the stupid post. Fucking wankers. Corporations have destroyed the open internet.
