Thirdie countries are poor because their citizens accept lower standards of governance and service across the board, they sit their in their crumbling shanty in their flip flops and go "this is fine". The mayor looted the infrastructure budget "that's ok". The tap water is 40% sewage "tastes fine". The police are corrupt "that's just how it is". This mentality extends right down to the files they post on /int/, a thirdie has no problem posting a 91 KB pixellated blob covered in watermarks. If you give them a choice between a 3.91 MB webm and a 1.32 MB mp4 they will be happy with the latter, they won't notice the massive artefacting because they are used to everything being shit.
