I think he made his tool so the devs would fix their clients, not to shame the users. Itโ€™s nothing against the users. How are they supposed to know
No idea who or what tool youโ€™re referring to. The posts Iโ€™ve seen though call out specific users or just users in general for having โ€œtoo bigโ€ pfps. Tag devs. Call out devs. Itโ€™s retarded to make this appear at all like itโ€™s a user issue and thatโ€™s all I ever see when it comes up. Like you said, how tf does a user know? Clients have a button to add pfp and you upload a pfp. Done. If thereโ€™s an issue, itโ€™s not with users.
I never said itโ€™s a user issue. But if users are made aware that the big pfps reck their internet bandwidth, this will bring more pressure on the devs to fix it
Utxo and Vitor are already working on pfp compression, since Ryanโ€™s tool is out. Nostur has had this feature for a long time. Seems like the wheel is moving already ๐Ÿ˜‚ image
Mid memes? I couldโ€™ve sworn you thought less of me than that. Iโ€™ll take the compliment. As for the pfp issue, good to see some devs paying attention. While youโ€™re dealing with them maybe they can compress video uploads too. Thatโ€™s the real internet bandwidth issue. My point really wasnโ€™t about attacking you. It was about posts putting the blame on users instead of where it should be, on devs.
It was just a test post from my app. Light shaming is fine in my eyes, if it is done in a humorous manner. All but one were unaware and happy to be informed. It got people to notice and start the conversation, getting results in hours. Later today I will be updating the site with a 1 click PFP optimizer too, so it's easy for people to fix the issue for themselves, even if they know nothing about media optimization.
