Exactly. And they didn't even give the 25 MB limit to every user. Some users were always stuck at 8 MB, and others 25 MB. I'm the latter and I was blown away at the decision to cut the file size limit down to 1/3rd of what I was used to.

^ This website will compress videos down to 8 MB but the video quality ends up being awful, plus I'm not so sure how I feel about the privacy/security issues of uploading personal videos to some rando website so they can be compressed.
I REALLY hate this "rolling out" of new features. Seriously, I hate it. I remember Instagram doing it when pressing the screen during Reels playback, on some accounts it pauses, on others it simply mutes the video.
Good riddance, Instagram.
