The screenshot moment

A quiet shift happened when screenshots became easier than links. At some point, people stopped sending pages and started sending fragments.

A message arrives. Not a URL. Just a rectangle.

A cropped tweet. A comment thread. A line from a chat.

The screenshot freezes context in a way links never could.
It removes the surrounding page, the replies, the corrections, the timeline.

What remains is a small captured moment.

And once something becomes a screenshot, it stops belonging to the place where it was written.
