Who said I was okay with it? Screenshots of text instead of the actual text accompanied by a link to the original tweet etc. is a stupid trend and I don't know why people prefer it.

For the record, though, it isn't the same because tweets are limited to a few hundred characters, and the font size is usually pretty big, so they're usually easy to read through a screenshot. Crash logs are -- how shall I put this -- not, especially when they're often photos of computer screens because crashed software, especially on servers, rarely lends itself well to taking actual screenshots.
