Personally I think the jpeg is more useful than text, but I can just as easily convert the text to jpeg so realistically idgaf - it does make it easier to save/share as jpeg, but slightly harder to copy/paste specific lines from it for a search, as example. pro/con I guess, but also as a jpeg the entire list shows from any view, meaning the "look at this big list" aspect is clarified regardless if someone cares to read past the first few lines.

Additionally, a jpeg may not display correctly on all devices, whereas text can be viewed on any device with a compatible software. These advantages of text make it a preferred format for sharing information over jpeg images.
