TIL SVGs can have text. Selectable text! And the font is determined by the client, apparently (at least, I'm getting different fonts in two different browsers I tried).
This completely changes my view of what an SVG fundamentally is. I always thought of it as an image format but I guess it's really a...document format? Huh. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
Now I wonder what kind of layout tools it has. Could you make a whole web site in SVG format? I see a new rabbit hole in my future...

is it supposed to have unreadable text over the image?

If you are asking about the original:
The post is just the restoration that had been done by Reddit user.
Some text is unreadable, in the restoration.
