- gitfan86 5y agoInstagram does not guarantee photo quality. They can resize photos anytime they want. Eventually they turn 10 year old photos that have not been viewed in 9 years into thumbnails or just delete them.
- jamesfinlayson 5y agoI looked back at some photos from Christmas in Facebook Messenger and they looked noticeably degraded in quality.
- ksec 5y agoThat is just Instagram, with photos. Imagine Youtube. And again I have been saying this since ~2015/16, we dont have any meaningful roadmap for cost reduction on storage, whether that is Hot as in NAND, Bulk as in HDD, or Cold as in Optical Disc. I dont see 2TB SSD dropping below $100 in next 5 years, or 10TB HDD below $120. Remember when Google promise infinite Gmail storage?
- southerntofu 5y ago> we dont have any meaningful roadmap for cost reduction on storage Then maybe we could: - stop encouraging users to post shit just so we can track them - stop tracking them which requires many data points and a lot of processing power (for 0 benefit for the user or society at large) - stop the copyright non-sense and actually use hyperlinks instead of reuploading the same content 500 times across platforms? maybe even do content-addressed storage (Bittorrent/IPFS) who knows?
