That’s for a post box, not sure if it would work in a submit article/topic box, that setup is different

You do it once, then nobody ever has to even click a link. It will get your article read and generate more comments and activity. Threads with a teaser and link typically don't do very well.

Now that the whole article has been posted, when this article hits the archive, the pictures may not be present when someone gets it as a hit in a search, but the words will be, which is the article. Having your words available for those searching for topic like yours may send you words into other articles, posts and references. That's the clearest kind of appreciation for your work.
