WHY put such large files on upload?

WHY?

I see this question often, on many boards, I'll choose this one to share some thoughts, even as a non-techie.
As technology advances, more studios are offering larger media files – right now, 4K -- as an option. And a single porn scene can run over 3 GB.
Again -- 4K is simply an option -- they also keep offering lower-res versions for those with storage issues, or for phone/tablet viewing.
I enjoy 4K clips and am willing to buy external hard drives to accommodate their size, and to keep my computer from slowing down.
Not to give you nightmares, but here's an article from last month about progress on rolling out 8K TV products, although still very early. But once there are enough 8K TVs/media players sold, the 8K viewing content is sure to keep pace. And the files will be l-a-r-g-e...

Outside of the 4k issue, there is the "collections" issue.
Our collections rules states that the upload MUST be related (example: Actor X 2010 - 2012) and the files are listed.
Sadly, in recent times, many people are violating these rules. I have seen uploads of "part of my collection" with no file list.

I love 4k and collections, as long as they obey the rules.

If there was a warning system in place like the other site this may cut down these violations…The ones that piss me off are the duplicates, they are stealing ratio from the orginal poster! and as such should forfeit their ratio and any seed points gained.

I think with the "big uploads" the issue is those 50+gb uploads, some even way higher.. Like really, thats unrealistic as a downloader

Yes, raphjd, I was unsure whether the Original Poster was referring primarily to individual large files, or as well, large collections of files presented as a single download.
I suppose it bears repeating that with file collections, most torrent clients, like μTorrent, begin with a Select All default. But before one pushes the OK button, the Select None button can be used to wipe the slate clean. One can then check only the individual files desired, thus making any large file collection à la carte. (Like a fancy restaurant!)
To raphjd's other point, the proliferation of member "large collections" that are nothing more than slightly revised versions of others' work, is discouraging. I think there are so many shades of more/less similar that, unfortunately, it's very hard to govern.

I don't have a problem with someone gathering a bunch of videos from here and putting them in proper collections (per the rules). In fact, I like that since it makes it easier for me to get the stuff I want without having to hunt for them.
My 4k TV can upscale 720p and 1080p to 4k, but native 4k always looks better.
