Dense Caption
Red background with black grid lines forming a 2x2 grid layout. White pixelated text reads 'why Are you reading this?' across four grid sections. The text is arranged with 'why' at the top, 'Are you' in the middle-left, 'reading' in the middle-right, and 'this?' at the bottom. The grid lines are thick and black, intersecting at the corners of each section. The text uses a blocky, retro digital font typical of early internet graphics.
