Well they certainly won’t win, but I feel like they will try at some point.

So they’ve already embraced and now they’re extending. Give it a bit more time and they will start to eliminate.

Naw, they’re too big to be real.

Yea looking at the picture its definitely already been processed by a video switcher and who knows what else and probably has the right aspect ratio in the broadcast production truck, you can tell because the graphics are squished in the same way as the video. That means its either the truck engineer or master control accidentally squishing it after the fact somehow.

The meme is literally correct. when you make an audio file into an mp3, it takes some of the sonic information that our brains are bad at noticing and just…completely removes it(to save storage space). if it’s a high quallity mp3 its essentially completely unnoticable. That’s why it’s psychoacoustic, it uses psychology to fool your brain into thinking it sounds better than it does, litterally.

Psycoachoustic is basically just a big word for taking into account how our brains deal with what we hear.

Also I’m not saying mp3 is bad, in fact I think the opposite is true. I think it’s good to think of it like being the .JPG of audio, you’re not getting the original quallity and that’s the point and unless you need to do manipulate that audio file and its a reasonable quallity then you likely won’t notice the difference.

Ogg vorbis (.ogg) is a better codec though IMO.
