    For accessibility, and to make it easy to find later. The original page has the caption as regular text and I add it to the image, so it’s easy to include it

      Help me understand. The text is already in the image where it is easier to read? IMO it just clutter things up.

        Some folks with visual impairments have enough eyesight to enjoy visual gags, but still use screen reader software, so including the digital text makes it easier for them to read captions in the image. Screen readers with optical character recognition can still fumble with handwritten fonts or poor contrast/alignment, so copying the text into the post discussion improves redundancy for readers.
