Why do images that get repeatedly copy get have their quality degrade over time?
In: 1
When you upload a file to a social media site, they use an algorithm to compress the file to save some storage space.
This makes it lose a little quality.
If someone else downloads that image from your post, they are downloading the lower quality version.
If they go to upload it again…then it gets compressed again and loses *even more* quality.
If this keeps happening eventually the image gets to be very low quality.
