Interesting thing about IFTTT

I have an IFTTT (If This, Then That) alert set up that alerts me to mentions of exiftool on Reddit.  I thought I was getting false positives until I finally noticed something.  IFTTT does OCR on images in a post.

For example, this post doesn't seem to mention exiftool at all, until you look at the image.  Exiftool is only mentioned in the upper right of the image, not at all in the output listing.

Just something that I found interesting and amusing.
* Did you read FAQ #3 and use the command listed there?
* Please use the Code button for exiftool code/output.
 
* Please include your OS, Exiftool version, and type of file you're processing (MP4, JPG, etc).

That's pretty impressive actually.

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).
