Bandwidth Limit Exceeded. My Suggestions.

Immediately preceeding this post I was a victim of exceeding the bandwidth limit. Quite a frustrating situation to be put into an invisible penalty box for reasons that are not necessarily obvious.

My options to prevent this in the future are:

1. Put myself on a daily post quota.
2. Use low resolution images exclusively.
3. Shorten the length of my content.

I'm okay with limiting the number of daily posts but I do not want to sacrifice content quality.

Steemit Developers if you are listening, if it's not already implemented, it would be nice if Steemit used one of .php's built in functions or an open source library like ImageMagick to resize, crop, or compress images before saving them. It could go a long ways towards reducing bandwidth usage.

We should have our remaining bandwidth viewable next to the post button so we know where we stand. That way, we can make an informed decision on whether or not to make a post or comment that might put us over our limit. Seriously, who doesn't like to know the price before they pay?

Small tweaks like these can get a lot mileage towards improving user experience.

Please feel free to resteem and comment if you agree, and I hope doing so doesn't exceed your bandwidth limit.
