this contradiction always confused me. either way the official company is “losing a sale” and not getting the money, right?

The storage demands between small compressed JPEG’s and decent quality PNG’s is massive. That’s a lot to ask of people who are self hosting this without any of us paying for it. Especially since 99% of the images loaded up here are one off jokes that are compressed versions from somewhere else already. Pretty clear example of “the juice isn’t worth the squeeze” IMO

If only google hadn’t decided to shit all over JXL. We could have lossless images with an excellent compression algorithm (at least better than the .zip style deflate png uses) at this very moment.
