Psssht. That's not even that bad these days. Go try getting that file on a 14.4 baud connection.

If you want a lower file size you can champion support for JPEG XL so I don't have to choose between an insane 16bit PNG or a crushed 8bit jpg https://jpegxl.info/

I don't want a lower file size. I'll take quality any day. I just didn't want to wait for my poor mobile connection to load it this time.

JPEG XL would allow me to serve you the same quality at least twice as fast 😉
