[META] Proposal to establish a rule banning screenshots (sh.itjust.works)

We had a very efficient and funny campaign to inform the general public that screenshots are not memes. However, people keep posting screenshots in this community. I propose that we establish a rule banning screenshots. Maybe there is a dedicated community or screenshots enthusiasts could create one. Of course if this proposal is widely opposed, I will withdraw it and go hide in a cave, never to be heard again. Also, cartoons are not memes either but this is a battle for another day.

Edit: added brackets to the title for clarity

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.
