The big drawback to this sort of group is that you can't post a picture.
I know you can put it on Dropbox or wherever but that's a faff. On
Facebook or Whatsapp all I have to do to post a picture is
Click on camera and take the picture
Click on the Snipping Tool and go 'edit-copy'
Click on my message and go 'paste'.

I think this medium is outdated.

The medium does allow it. It is a deliberate mutual choice (but to some
extent enforced by the lack of free binary news servers) that we don't have
pictures in text groups. Note that in one way or another all the forums with
pictures rely on us paying much more money directly or big business making
money out of our private data.

I like it like that.
