have you seen what AVIF does to screenshots of 96dpi Windows ClearType text? Jesus Christ
can we please stop dressing up 4:2:0 chroma subsampled video codecs as image codecs and pretending they do an even vaguely acceptable job

in reply to @ticky's post:
i tried to look into this but i can't find a single webpage talking about avif that actually shows an avif image

tell that to JPEG!!!!! i think most things still default to 4:2:0 for jpeg. at least you can set it to 4:4:4 tho if you know what you're doing
I believe libjpeg will do 4:4:4 if you're >90% quality, which is reasonable
oh i didnt know that! i thought it was just the DCT quantization tables
Wait, 72 dpi? Isn't Windows 100% scaling at 96 dpi? (Not that this is the point, of course. Video codecs disguised as images suck.)
