I don’t think it’s something that can be solved. Stuff gets copied and compressed and reposted and screenshot again and experiences digital rot.
Rss feeds, and promoted content had it basically solved. Social media offered an easier solution, but then they multiplied and people forgot the old ways.
It use to be the source image was shared, and those would get deep fried. It’s like we zoomed out a level and now it’s the original UI and attribution, and screens have relatively similar resolutions. Can we zoom out one more level?
