Why the fuck do people post photos of text instead of just text?

I find this very weird.

On one hand you got text, which is very accessible and very efficient and easy to translate for non-native speakers.

On the other, you got photos of text which is inefficient, hard to translate and not easy to read compared to just text.

So what gives? Why do people use photos of text instead of text?
