"entire fucking world on the internet" is streaming movies and endless series while videoCalling to babble nothings and you're defending webp over png because it saves a dozen kbps?
I’m not defending webp over png. All of my sites serve both depending on what the browser indicates it supports. It’s zero effort.
Implying that because people with unmetered internet are live-streaming, people on data caps don’t matter is asinine.
i chose to be on data cap. it's not the difference between image formats that will get me overlimit
where did i imply that?
my response was to "But when you’re talking about the entire fucking world on the internet sharing images, even minuscule savings scales to something appreciative."
Any amount of bandwidth/data cap saved across 8 billion people is appreciable. Full stop, that’s all I’m saying. If you don’t wanna acknowledge that point there’s really nothing else for us to say here.
this is a 9kb image from a screenshot of different sizes of Veritasium's last video 👇
how many webp images can you serve instead of even the 360p version?
what you're saying is of no consequence is what i'm saying. good day to you too
