> with the exception being images that are core content
This is not the exception. This is the common case.
Instagram/Facebook posts, Tweets (a very large % have images now), TikTok/Youtube/Twitch/Netflix thumbnails, people sending photos of their family/dog/cat/houseplant to a WhatsApp/Telegram group: all of these are transferred in compressed formats.
That's even before you get into the debate of whether photojournalists' images on news articles (FAR more common than product pics on tech sites) fall under your definition of "images users scroll past", or "core content".
It seems pretty bizarre to think 10 F1 websites are representative of the common cases.
- crazygringo 6y agoI wouldn't call those core content that needs to be maximum quality. They're normal content that needs to be non-ugly. The examples given of core content were Flickr and Unsplash. In other words, photographic perfection. Photographic perfection-quality on the web is definitely the exception, not the rule.
