For the first time ever, when i screenshotted it said “Wait! Don’t screenshot! this post looks better when you share it.” I’ve screenshotted plenty before and never seen this. Are they really that desperate for interaction?

Pretty sure iOS and Android have APIs to detect/block screenshots and screen capture.

Yeah, and it's fucking bullshit. There are thousands of valid reasons to screenshot that don't exclude actually sharing the stupid post. Fucking wankers. Corporations have destroyed the open internet.

You can disable the interception of screenshot though; did that on my phone. You need root access though. Still sucks that it is implemented in the first place.
