It's a real post on Reddit. I don't know what combination of screenshotting/uploading tools leads to this kind of mangling, but I've seen it in screenshots from Android, too. The artifacts seem to run down in straight vertical lines, so maybe slight scaling with a nearest-neighbor algorithm (in 2025?!?) plus a couple levels of JPEG compression? It looks really weird.

I'm curious. If anyone knows, please enlighten me!

Oh, if it’s just a random Android fork/version being terrible at something, I understand now. Maybe it’s a phone with a screen that isn’t standard in someway.
