No. Mobile screenshots are a horrendous way to pass information around.
My father would send me screenshots of Amazon product listings and suggest I buy the item. There was never a visible URL, and typically no or only a small fraction of the product name. If he'd just sent a link, I could just click it, instead it became an investigation/research project.
Better yet was when the listing was obviously not Amazon, and not a site I could identify, or had ever seen before. I'd get zero context clues. Perhaps an AI could figure it out, but again, I'd rather he just sent a link.
When I get a screenshot, I'll have to submit it to some service, of which there will be a dozen different services, each requiring an account, each building a profile and tracking me based on whatever crap my dad sent me.
No. Just no. Stop. I pre-emptively opt out.
