I guess it's just so that the image doesn't take up that much space on their instance (storage is expensive and inflexible in VPSs)
Yep, I noticed when I upload large images they never get many upvotes. I think pawb has slow bandwidth and people don't want to wait for a large image to download.
Ah gotcha, it's good to not overload the instance
