11. I save the screenshot on the computer (by default), edit it if needed, and upload to a host.

I have zero image hosting accounts anywhere.

I use https://imgbb.com and https://postimages.org

You can drag and drop your image (saved screenshot) there.
On phones, etc, click upload and it will let you choose from your camera or picture roll.

With postimages, I ask for direct link. It just works. Copy the link and paste it in your post.

I do these many times a day.

With imgbb, I ask for HTML full linked and use only what's between src=(quote) and (quote) alt. It's a PITA but I can save that link for future use on my system. I seriously reuse some graphics over and over, and having that direct link saves me time.

HTH

By the way, a DU quirk. I had to substitute (quote) for double quotes. Otherwise, I got a 403 error code.

Life is weird.
