That's not the point. I doubt that the engineers who worked on the compression algorithms would store their own precious photos using the same techniques.

Also, when was the last time you heard a banker say that everyone makes mistakes all the time.

Hi, I work on the processing algorithms at Google like the one here (not sure about this particular issue) and I use Google photos for all my old photos. People at Google read Hacker News and fix things, they just don't comment on specifics for things like this.
