is it a formatting step that an image goes through when uploaded? I’m tired of converting image after image back into jpg, so if there’s like a step I can take to avoid it being a webp, it would help to know

      Right. We agree that’s a rather gruelling experience you shouldn’t have had to have in an ideal world.

      I’m saying that’s a problem that can and should be solved by the technology itself. Future users shouldn’t even have to think about that, and I say that from the position of knowing far too much about it.

      It’s absolutely exhausting, as a user, to have to keep that level of knowledge current every several years for decades, and there’s no reason we should have to anymore. The technology is advanced enough to take more burdens off its users.

      Sorry for the rant, but the image format debate exemplifies this.
