Even in this poorly made comparison shot I made you can tell the difference between streaming and "self hosting" (lemmy.world)

Maybe I'm blind, maybe it's me viewing this on a phone, but I legitimately can't tell the difference.

Zoom in on the guy’s face. The one on the right is crystal clear in comparison to the left.

I can see the difference around the actor's skin and the environment, its less fuzzy. It's hard to tell the difference, definitely. It's compression quality.

What you have to understand about lossy compression is:

it throws out data you won't be able to perceive in ideal conditions (color ranges)
it throws out data that doesn't change between frames

If you're using an app, you may need to adjust image quality in the settings. I thought the same thing until I tapped the HD button in Boost.
