Yahoo Answers is shutting down on 4 May 2021 (Eastern Time) and the Yahoo Answers website is now in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.

Why do most of the people who use pictures on this site use them to intentionally sabotage their own "question" as a trolling technique...?

... instead of using a picture to add something to their question?

This is a serious question btw.  If posting pictures is an available tool, why don't people use pictures to add to their question, it's almost always used as a trolling technique to surprise a potential answerer or to just **** people off?

Update:

I mean there are always a certain percentage of trolls, but when it comes to the use of pictures it skyrockets to almost 100%.  Weird.

    My guess is it is a bit of marketing brought into trolling.  You notice it more than the other questions because of the colors.  IDK.  It’s weird because emails that are colorful—I ignore assuming it’s spam—ads, like junk mail.  But here we look.  

     

    We all have gimmick to get attention.  Back in the day, when this more community based, my avatar was a smashing muse with red hair..  Kind Red. It makes no sense now.  

     

    Your name—kind of must be your thing to draw interest.  Like a Moliere play or that German dictator in WWII.   It calls attention.
