No, BBSs were for text. Internet had pics, slow as they loaded.
Pics also aren't text
I’m only being pedantic for the sake of fun, but load any image (or stream data) into a hex editor and bam! you have text.
Also, the musical Avenue Q has an entire song about what the internet is for, and I believe it’s inclusive of both pics and streaming video.
