Hello, everyone! Lately, I've been encountering users who are complaining about why they can't properly upload images on noise. cash. I can relate to y'all 😆. I don't know if some of you met the same problem but every time I upload pictures, it takes about forever to appear.
Noise cash is a microblogging website that rewards its user with Bitcoin Cash. For every heart you get from your post, you can immediately receive BCH. Well, it depends if your account is eligible to receive tips. There's some instance where a user can't receive tips because their account is new, spamming the platform, or posting too much in a short period.
I also experience the same problem where every time I take a picture and upload it on noise. cash, it takes time to show. After taking some time to observe, I found out that the image size is one of the main reasons.
In the current version of our smartphones, one image can take up to 2-5 MB of your storage. For a slow server and internet connection, this can take several minutes to upload.
In the situation of noise. cash, it is not just the experience of the uploader is being affected, but also the experience of the users who are viewing your post.
There's a time where I can view anyone's picture except this one cute individual. At first, I thought the problem is on my end but eventually upon checking his comment section I conclude that the problem is on his side. Almost anyone is telling that his picture takes forever to view. I am thinking that maybe his image size is too big, and the server is having a hard time loading it. Sana ol malaki :((
This one simple but hassle problem can greatly affect your statistics. People who are scrolling on their feed won't wait for your post to load. Who are you to waste their time? 🤔😂. They will probably leave your post as it is, leaving you with no hearts and tips.
To resolve this, I downloaded an application that can make the image size smaller without losing too much quality. You can check this link

The application name is Photo compress and resize. The application is small and won't take too much space on your phone.
Upon opening the app, you can see the menu.
You can also resize or crop your photo here.
I saw this meme on Reddit. Its size is 24 kilobytes. Not that big, but for the sake of visualization let's use this image.
From this part, you have the free will to choose what size do you want 😏.
For me, 100-400 kilobytes is already perfect.
In addition, we can somehow help the platform to lessen its expenses and keeping the website working by just doing this simple thing.
Last time, noise. cash admins prohibited the gif on the platform as it occupies too much space on the servers thus making the maintenance cost more expensive.. In this simple method of compressing/reducing the size of every image, we are also helping in decreasing the 'maintenance fee' of the website (I guess).
Thank you to my sponsors, upvoters, silent readers, commenters, and critics for keeping me motivated in writing 💯. I am just a speck of dust floating in the wind without you
