Why does everyone use screenshots?

PSA:  Screenshots are trivial to fake.  A screenshot is no better proof than a quote; and a quote is much easier to read.  If your word can be trusted about the authenticity of a screenshot, then you can be trusted to provide a quote—whereas if a quote from you is untrustworthy, then so is a screenshot!
Well, people like to see screenshot, quotation is boring, besides, peloso didn't disagree with screenshots :
Here's the whole conversation and as you can see, I was deeply into this...  Cheesy

red tag for it? u sure ? you are realy idiot
...so they must be real. It has been always like that, Bob says something, then Alice says it is not true, then Bob quote some words, then Alice ask them to provide screenshot then Bob post screenshot.
