why all the pm/text me for photos posts?

I don't buy the "too lazy" reasoning. It takes all of 2 minutes to upload a pic which you can refer to in the ad.

Let's say on a site like this that there are 10 people interested in some SPS frags that one is selling. Now the OP needs to respond to 10 people.

To send a pic to someone by PM means you need to have the pic hosted somewhere and PM them the link. So now, it is about 2 minutes to upload a pic somewhere and then 1 minute x 10 PM replies = 10 minutes for a total of 12 minutes.

Or if texting 10 people your pics, it probably takes 1 minute each to read the PM and text the pic for a total of 10 minutes.

So it actually takes longer to PM or text 10 people the pictures than it is to just post the link in the first place.
