I actually prefer screenshots to links when it comes to memes because there's a lot less friction (clicking a link to viewing the content vs just seeing the content immediately). Also since people delete or edit comments/posts, screenshot is a much better way to preserve the state of something if that is the intention.
Sure, sometimes a comment is the important part, but I have a real beef with this whole screenshot culture.
Obviously technology isn't helping, with web sites preventing saving of images and no good ways to preserve formatting when pasting information.
And then there's the whole format issue when a shitty jpg is screenshotted, shared as png, then recompressed, screenshotted again... Ugh
