FAQ
Q: Why doesn't the bot respond to itself?
A: The bot almost always produces the lowest quality JPEG it can on it's first try.
Q: It just reposted the same (already extremely bad) JPEG!
A: A JPEG can only get so bad through compression alone.
Q: Why isn't the GIF it posted animated?
A: The bot converts all supported image formats to JPEG. If you run the bot on a GIF, it will only respond with a compressed JPEG of the GIF's first frame.
Q: Why isn't the bot responding to my comment?
A: The bot will respond to every* comment that meets these requirements:
- Comment must contain a trigger phrase i.e. "needs more jpeg" (full list)
- Comment's parent (submission or other comment) must contain a link to a supported image sharing website (currently only imgur)
- Comment must not be in a blacklisted subreddit (full blacklist)
*The bot, its server, or the services it uses could be down or experiencing issues
