He's suggesting that that pattern of bars and stripes is used to identify any user that takes a screenshot of a page on voat. Effectively acting as a fingerprint for their account.
Only trouble is, this doesn't seem to be happening to anyone else, and it only occasionally happens for him, so it's more likely to be a rendering artifact in his browser.
It would be a very poor method of doing that.... So poor that I questioned what was meant.
If anyone wanted to id a user whio views a particular page or even part of a page, there are far more covert and effective means to do so that wouldn't leave signs like that. The OP is an idiot.

Why don't you explain for us what you're talking about? What is fingerprinting, if not using ink and rolling fingers on a piece of paper? Explain!!!
