: Because data was expensive, most "3GP" content was shared via Bluetooth or "Zapya" (a file-sharing app). Users would search for these low-quality formats specifically so they could easily store and trade hundreds of videos on 512MB or 1GB MicroSD cards.
The user searching for the "best" low-quality video is actively seeking the most optimized file: a video compressed so aggressively that the file size is tiny, but the algorithm was tweaked just enough so that the 128x96 pixels aren't completely destroyed. "Best" refers to the compression efficiency, not the visual fidelity.
