    Pictures get way more engagement than text posts though. Platforms and app feeds are heavily biased to show thumbnails.

    Just a bit of css also wont retain its meme if people want to copy it.

    To make it an easily sharable meme of which text color cannot be altered. It must be a picture of green quoted text.

    I would also kinda argue the picture within often does add something, provides a sliver of information about the speakers personality. Sometimes “Picture unrelated” ads to humor.

    The pattern of where that picture is in relation to the text helps the pattern recognition of “this is a greentext” again.

    Basically just cut off the top line and we’re good.

      But the original greentext isn’t a picture—only normies on other platforms than 4Chan end up with that format unless it is a fabricated one like this.

        I cant be the only one that likes these despite not frequenting 4Chan.

        Nonetheless the meme format works great for storytelling.
