Usually I screenshot the phrase because to check and re-enter it we just open the image and retype it, use a laptop or desktop to make it easier and save it on my hard disk and laptop. Actually, this depends on how each person works, just be careful and save it and don't link your wallet to suspicious sites. It is important to always check your address or seed phrase regularly.
This is one of the WORST ways to keep your Seed.  Do not link your Wallet to suspicious websites but have a Screenshot of your Seed?  This sounds like a HUGE disaster waiting to happen.

Practice better Seed storage methods.  Bots scrapping text off images are a thing.  Try writing a post on a popular Internet forum like Reddit containing a digital game code.  It will become redeemed in seconds.  Not because humans redeem it.  Because bots do.

There was a time when people started changing a few digits to *s and #s and you had to read the title to find out what to replace them with.  Some kind of a game which was also against bots.  I imagine these scripts are now much better and faster than that.  Chat GPT can give you very well composed answers in seconds.  It can now read images and all too.  All it takes is you accidentally upload the image on some Server that gets compromised at one point in the future.  Or you get a virus that does just that.  Scans your images to find codes, Seed phrases et cetera.

Keep your Seed safe.  Please.  We do not need one more thread of some body who is desperate to find who stole their Bitcoin.

Another thing: Check your seed's integrity. At least once a few months. Create backups. There are far more chances you screw things up than some random dude compromising your seed phrase. It has not happened to me, but I'd absolutely not want to be the guy who found out his text was erased from a flood, or a heavy storm.

It is a good reminder to take this shit seriously, because we're all alone in this. There is no recovery service.

A very good observation Op I think it takes someone who has made this particular mistake to understand the importance of double checking your seed phrase even after writing it down for proper confirmation.
I did not need to have my property robbed to be afraid of leaving my door unlocked.  Either they are very irresponsible or they do not care unless it affects them.

Checking and double checking the Seed phrase is an important part of ensuring the safety of cryptocurrency ownership; very often, due to inattention, you can simply write down the wrong word order in a notebook or on a piece of paper, and this will lead to a big problem and loss of assets in the future.
