The upload in question: https://e621.net/posts/2779662

I am just VERY curious why this image gets replaced when I am pretty certain that the version in my Google Photos/FurAffinity (the original website it was on does not exist anymore) is the best version of it, and not some random post from twitter someone found where I was entering an art raffle with it. I compared both images as best as I could and I saw no difference that would have justified it, except that the "new" version is a JPG and not a PNG (I assume because it's from twitter). They are both the same dimensions and I didn't notice any visible artifacts.

I should mention I am the art owner/uploader as well. and that the "new" source is just a random twitter post from 2020, when the image predates that random tweet. I am just very confused. I wouldn't really care about this if it was just some random image i uploaded over 5 years ago, but this is art that is actually mine.

I was going to want to ask an admin directly but I don't know how to do that without picking one specifically to DM. I'm also not allowed to replace my own uploads.

i already know about this and im not sure what your argument is supposed to be here

was the original version you uploaded a png and not a jpeg? because according to the replacements page it was just a lower resolution jpeg which for all we know was still visibly lossy

can you upload the one you want to be hosted here via google drive or dropbox or something like that so i can look at it myself and scrutinize?

I updated the FA version to be the original (incase it wasn't). but it seems someone else already replaced it. but i would have preferred myself uploading it, because it being replaced negatively effected my account, and i just prefer my own art being uploaded by me

The original file was: 1280x822 (144.25 KB, jpg)
It was replaced with: 1685x1082 (168.16 KB, jpg)
I found the original PNG file from FA 1685x1082 (1.321 MB, png)

The whole replacement process is very annoying, but it's weird that someone somehow got a better quality picture than the original artist. I wonder if that's happened before?

I mean, at the end of the day, you did upload a crunchy downscaled FA JPEG. The reason replaced posts can negatively affect the OP's account is to incentivise them to upload the proper versions in the first place.
