lol yes. if you do actually get an image uploaded the quality is lost. 

for damus why do I need to go to another website completely, only to be prompted to login via a dm code? (which still requires nsec?) to then pay to upload media maybe!? btw nowhere in app is there information about this separate service. and after paying for premium I still can’t upload a tiny video.

compared to literally any mainstream platform the experience is untenable.
