You're talking about displaying photographs on the internet, which is meant to be a way of sharing information quickly and easily. Image compression quality takes a back seat most of the time around here, and no one else seems to be complaining about it. Your elitist attitude is grating. If you really don't care about what others think of your photos, why bother posting them in the first place?
