In all honesty, I wouldn't. Because screenshotted or not, NFTs are fucking useless.

Comedic value?
The joke wouldn't be worth the few kB of disk space imho
I still got my illicit trump trading card nfts saved somewhere. Those are pretty funny
I actually have downloaded some nfts as jpeg because its the highest quality I could find of an artwork I liked
Why screenshot when I can just right click and save?
Because that would be the same quality. This is the internet, if an image is still recognisable after being shared five times you're doing something wrong.
I want my ifunny logo
Yeah OP seems to imply there's some kind of cyptographic security with NFTs. Nope! It's literally just a URL on the blockchain pointing to a regular image on a regular server.
Let me preface this by saying I don't see the value of 99% of NFTs either, but it is technically possible to make one that stores the image on the blockchain or on IPFS. Most don't, obviously, but it is possible.
For like thousands of dollars you could store a small sized image on the blockchain itself. Of course that's not practical
Not even because I value or want it, just because it will ruffles the NFT owner's jimmies.
it will ruffles the NFT owner’s jimmies.
Will it? I'm sure anyone actually creating an NFT will know how the technology works
I mean... I would hope not. Artists work hard to make NFTs. You should respect that by downloading the image in full resolution and quality rather then screenshotting it.
I went to a museum of modern art and they had an NFT gallery of tv screens playing looping NFT GIFs. I took a Live Photo.
What if I take a screenshot and make an NFT out of it?
Infinite money glitch (if you can find enough idiots to buy them)
Ceci n'est pas un NFT
You wouldn't download a car‽
Get me a 3d printer big enough....
What's the name of this video again? I remember having to watch it before every movie on a scrappy little DVD-player laptop.
This is a mutation of an anti-piracy campaign. The text usually reads "You wouldn't steal a car" an then asks why you would download a movie.
I would totally download a car though.
