Except image hosting sites applying lossy "optimization" contribute to the VHS problem, especially when they don't allow you to download the original. I am looking at you, twitter "gifs". Stripping out metadata on a high-res photo shot with a DSLR is also a minor nuisance, since you can't even check at which settings it was taken. Optimizing lossless compression is ok, although even that has a minor downside that it makes data deduplication more complex, i.e. you can't rely on zfs or btrfs deduplication, you have to use format-specific tools that compare the decompressed output. Most of these things can be avoided by providing a link to the original. https://xkcd.com/1683/ https://xkcd.com/1683/
