A few reasons: 1. The vast majority of images on my blog are game screenshots. Often, a good portion of them are solid colors/gradients[0] or have blurry textures[1], which helps. When I played around with AVIF, 0.6 bpp was enough to keep the prominent parts, then tried less. For photos, unless it's a picture of grass, gravel, or trees[2], the same holds[3]. 2. I encode only high resolution (x2) images as AVIFs, so blurriness gets covered up by downscaling or high PPI screens almost all of the time. On a desktop 1080p screen, you're looking at up to 2 bpp effectively. 3. I keep individual image sizes below 160KB (0.61 bpp@1080p) to keep page load sizes at 1MB or less. Of course, I keep an archive of everything in PNG/RAW/etc format to redo if needed.
