How Video Compression Deletes 90 Percent of Reality

Added: 2026-05-17

[00:00:00]Most people still don't know how video compression deletes reality. Motion estimation algorithms track pixel movement across consecutive frames.

[00:00:09]These systems discard 90% of redundant visual data.

[00:00:13]They only store the changes between frames to save space.
