You raise a lot of good points for when the site wants to scale, thanks for the post. At this small scale hiring someone to implement those systems, and hosting those multiple file sizes might cost more than the current bandwidth requirements. Depends what the server and owners have access too, are they flush with space or bandwidth?

Yes, that’s a very valid point. Totally agree that at small scale the current approach might be acceptable, and of course it’s the soj team’s call. I was mainly sharing the finding. I'm not an expert, as far as I know: In many setups this doesn’t necessarily require extra infrastructure or hiring. Most image providers handle multiple sizes via simple configuration, and the storage overhead (very small compared to original hugely sized images) is often offset by way way reduced bandwidth. Either way, hopefully useful context for future scaling or next projects. One additional consideration is abuse prevention — unrestricted large uploads can sometimes be used as free file hosting, which optimized image handling naturally helps mitigate.

There's also the Nudity/extreme gore filter to consider
