What's the use case for bigger files?
>>
>>101248626
less spam if people can upload bigger webms instead of chopping them up.

also another question is why are filesize limits different on each board and not site wide? for example /gif/ lets you upload 5mb gif but not /g/.

Learn to properly fucking encode your VP9 content schmuck. What the fuck do you need 4+ mb for, so you can share some shitty TV show or movie? Not everything needs to be 720p+ you dumbass, especially not when it always results in 20 billion artifacts across the screen. Stop using VP8, which is worse than 264, and learn the goddamn basics you lazy cunt.

>>101248514
how can you have a limit if it's within a range? are you not able to post anything under 2mb or something?
>>
>>101248514
let me guess, you need more

Depends on the board. Are you faggots redditors or something?
>>
>>101248514
When you multiply it across every thread on every board, it comes out to a significant amount of data that's regularly rotating.
Sure it's not the fuckoff huge amount that barely-sustainable social media deals with, but it's enough to be a hassle.

Considering how much media is hosted it adds up. I do wish they'd expand it for the photography board, I hate compressing my photos before posting them.

It's a BBS (with the revolutionary new technology of embedded images) from 2002, not a video hosting service.

Because bandwidth is expensive. Everytime you post something here it might get distributed to 1k, maybe 10k, or in rare cases as much as 100k anons.

1k x 1MB = 1GB

10k x 1MB = 10GB

100k x 1MB = 100GB

You can see how raising this to say 10MB gets expensive as balls.

Okay let's be real for a moment. How is that, that Sturdywhat site can allow larger files while "THE" 4chan can't?

Cars are consumer goods, and not assets.

Still can't post webms with sound outside of a couple boards. There's no "it costs money" excuse for this, it's just bullshit.
