  • yeah but it doesn’t make much sense

    what’s actually taking up disk space are images and video, and those are already compressed. you cannot compress already compressed data again, it just won’t reduce the filesize. so there’s no point compressing everything, because where it matters, it doesn’t do anything, and where it doesn’t matter, it makes things slow and adds complexity, which is an additional failure point.
