Do we really need screenshots for very open, easy to fetch public data?

A few Normie friends have commented that and njump.me hyperlinks look like malware.
It could be that screenshots are a more consumer tech, friendly approach to sharing nostr content outside of nostr.

It would be better if there was an embeddable note, similar to how you could embed tweets. That way, others can begin deep linking to notes from clearnet websites and folks can use a njump or nostr.band to go further into nostr.
Njump offers embeddable widgets, for an example see the homepage: https://njump.me
Could shorten the links.
I agree that Njump URLs doen't have a great usability, but are necessary. Screenshots have many limitations, starting with the fact that it has no interactivity to bring the user back to Nostr.
Btw a lot of services have really long and weird URLs, see Amazon.
They're rendered prettily on the other side, is the thing. If there were an njump hyperlink function on Twitter, then they could be made to look prettier, from that end. Like how Nostrudel does.
They will learn.
I'm not against screenshots either.
Some people may want to use them in articles and blogs.
I would only use it when the image was signed (hello Blossom)
I often come across great notes on Bitcoin and other topics that I’m passionate about and want to share beyond the Nostr platform. However, taking screenshots of the client UI gets tiring, and they don’t always look as polished as I’d like.
I created SnapNostr to give these notes a clean, professional appearance that makes sharing them more appealing.
Its called a hyperlink.
The mistake is wanting to share a screenshot in the first place.
Did you not know Nostr is principally a jihad against screenshots. The Lord send fiatjaf to this earth to deal with the screenshot scourge once and for all.
I really don't know that Nostr is principally against screenshots. I just thought it looks cool. Initially created for my personal use, but peeps in my network asked if they can get one like that.
So I re-built it to share it to everyone!
Screenshots themselves are terrible, but a result of failure of a better alternative.
But it is such a horrible phenomena; everytime some shares a screenshot of a thing without/instead of providing a link, i want to punch them in the face for forcing me to type over elements and put them into google to find out if its even real.
The enthusiasm for this application is depressing.
Acknowledged.
