    This is just me, but when I download a PNG I know it’s lossless, when I download a jpeg I know it is lossy but probably a “photo-like” image, a gif? You get it.

    One firmat to rule them all will get you badly compressed pixel graphics and unnecessary large “photo” images and so on, not because the format is bad, but if it lets you do so, people will (and companies obviously).

    Most images on the internet are way under a MB, is there really that important to lower it slightly?

      It’s because companies always want to include 100 or 200 or 1000 pictures, because of all the products they are selling, they want to sell them all and right away.

      It’s dumb, I hate it. lol
