What's hilarious to me is even though this is in PNG, I think it was originally in the .jpeg format as I can see some very small artifacts in the image.
Also of note, at the highest level of quality allowed from the .jpeg format, it looks identical to my eye, and is about 1/3rd the file size.
I wish people would learn more about compressing images with lossless compression formats than they show on here. Almost all of these huge file size .png's are serving no purpose other than to clog up the servers and eat more space.
I used to be jealous of people who used lossless formats because I thought they had super good vision or hearing, but then I realized they just loved being picky and wasting space.

Not for sake of necroposting but for the great justice: Those people just happen to see very good original pictures going rubbish with squarry artefacts and text rendered unreadable in sake of compressing to ~50KB - and hated jpeg with all of their hearts. jpeg even doesn't seem to store it compression level so you can't really blame them. It has good compression level at high quality settings but It also most appropriate for digital photos rather than anime-styled art.
And yes, I value my eyes much more than some puny megabytes, so was 4 years ago and even more today.
