RE: Did Steemit Inc. just destroy all our images?
Excellent research! Do you know why even when viewed at 640px (default Condenser size), severe compression artefacts are visible? Look at the image in this post on Steemit compared to Steempeak for example.
Downsizing images is a good idea, but not if there is a severe visible difference.
Actually I don't really know. Without any information, I would guess they use a shitty image resize/compression algorithm... They need to do that server side after all for a ton of images, and I guess that's why they went for a very fast solution, which, apparently, has too high payoffs.
