Isn't It Time for AVIF Everywhere?
Summary
A personal blog post argues that AVIF should be widely adopted across the web to reduce storage and bandwidth. The author points to rising hosting costs and hardware shortages, notes AVIF’s superior compression over WebP, and suggests encouraging users to encode images locally to ease server load, while YouTube’s move toward AV2 signals broader industry trends. The piece calls for collective action from hosting providers, platforms, and users to push for broader AVIF support.
