I saw a post just the other day about people that automate this kind of thing. Something along the lines of:

  • find a list of impactful quotes, and buy some basic pens + nice paper
  • spend a few hours writing quotes on the papers and take photos from different angles/lighting
  • set up Adsense (or whatever the advertising / creator account is on each service)
  • schedule the photos, one at a time, every few days, across a number of accounts. Then repost again after some time

The posts get shared around a lot and you get paid passively. Also the more unethical variant where you skip the first 2 steps and just steal the photos
