The thing about how social media these days is heavily crossposted through screenshots... how are people getting screenshots this shitty?

is it just a little bit of jpeg recompression artifacts compounding as an image is automatically reprocessed by a dozen different services?

sadly there's no way to realistically track the provenance of these images, so figuring out which step in the chain is introducing the error is difficult

maybe it's video. it's a screenshot, but maybe someone was talking over a screenshot of it they got of reddit, and that video was screenshat back onto bluesky via twitter

@foone@digipres.club none in specific, they just progressively get worse as more people screenshot the screenshots

maybe I should do some experiments. post something to mastodon, redownload it and post that to tumblr, redownload and post to reddit, redownload and post to discord, etc.

the problem is that I, personally, look at a problem like that and go "I want to automate this", but that'd be dangerously close to a spambot

people have long talked about how coding is always in tension between "do it manually" and "write a program to do it automatically", and it's a spectrum (as so many things are)

and I have ADHD that makes me very easily bored, and a brain that enjoys coding. I'm not fully spiders georg in this axis but I am definitely effecting the average in a serious degree.

@foone @Kencu Yeah, pretty sure that's it with memes and clickbait "amazinguniverse" style accounts. They see something does numbers, screenshot, post, another one sees that post doing numbers, rinse, repeat…I kinda like it because there's a special jpeg'd to hell look that's a dead giveaway something isn't their own work

@foone @NanoRaptor for most people this would feel high effort, but the NanoRaptor brand is so strong that it feels like phoning it in. From you specifically I would have expected like a QuickTake photograph of this post on the screen of one of those PowerQuadras from 1999 with the hexagonal E-ink screen, sitting in a dark wood-paneled drawing room

@coyoteseattle I've actually just dropped the wearing of hats, so I'm arguably dropping infinite hats

@foone If I see an obviously low quality screenshot, instead of just reposting I try looking it up on tineye so I can find the first generation.

@foone and resized every time to each platforms desired display resolution or max resolution. So artifacts get scaled up and down which cause the artifacts to multiply
