Any idea how the 8gb from another comment might be achieved?

Edit: I guess zipping it should work pretty well

TBH I have no idea

I just took a look at what my app is saying, but I didn’t dig into it

It's probably only the text. Images and videos weigh a lot more than text.

According to my app, the whole English Wikipedia with pictures weighs 102.62GB, down to 60,06GB without.

60GB is still more than 8GB

The other comment checked a 10 year reddit link but didnt notice the date untill it went to search for it again because of this thread. Dumbass!
