As a dev the reason pdf is so strange is because it's a compound format. It can be just images strung together. It can also be pure text with fonts, ect...etc ..
If you open the file as a text file, you can see this. It's many different formats in a trenchcoat.
A lot of data gets deleted after a while. It could be a good source for AI scrapers..but because of the low engagement numbers, they will probably not train on our data in favor of facebook who has billions of users.
My wife and I were discussing this. This isnt "slow" to us, its just a tiny bit inconvenient. We were used to the old AOL pictures taking a good minute or two to load.
Ublock origin (if your using it) "fixed" the issue shortly after. Im convinced someone at google works on adblock lol. Probably not true but the timing was really fast.
I dont have that option. Its for work.
