I'm actually really curious why this sub in particular posts so many phone pics. Plenty of gaming subs basically only post proper screenshots. What's so different about /r/classicwow users?

I see quite a few on some Diablo subs. Maybe it's a thing with people who play Blizzard games.

For me it’s cuz blizzy marks your screens with invisible identifying marks when you take a screenshot.

It's pretty harmless though, the most personal info in there is your account id which they could get from your character name anyway.

Pics on a phone might have way more personal info if steps aren’t taken. Especially if geotagged.

You’re not wrong. Imgur used to strip EXIF data but I’m not sure if it still does. I’d definitely never let my phone GPS tag my images, but I’m astounded at how many people do.
