I don't know how the picture posting cost works here. Sometimes I get charge for posting lots of pictures, sometimes I don't

You get 50MB free per 24 hours. After that, every picture costs 10 sats until you hit the next fee level which is 75MB. Then every picture costs 100 sats. After 100MB, every picture costs 1k sats.

So it's structured like this:

MB per 24 hours	Fee per image [sats]
0-50	0
50-75	10
75-100	100
100+	1k

We don't explain this well but the hope was that most stackers never have to pay for images. I ran the numbers before updating to 50MB and realized that most stayed below 50MB with their images per day.

But that analysis might have suffered from survivorship bias since I didn't think about this:

If the cost is too high, I just start reducing the number to pictures until it hits an acceptable amount.

Ah, see? That's clear, you should include it somewhere in the FAQ!

Thanks for taking the time to explain this. I guess it makes sense to scale down the pixel size of the photos before uploading if I want to upload a lot of photos. I used to just upload the photos as-is in their original resolution. I had a few posts where I did remove photos because the posting fee got into the 1000 sats tier, but I think that was before you guys up it from 10mb to 50mb.
