While I'm not the biggest fan of WebP, using generation loss as a metric wouldn't be an indicator of a real world scenario. I can't think of any actual instance where an image needs to be re-encoded, say, 10 times, let alone 100+ times.
What do you think happens to images shared and re-shared between people online?
