Does Wayfarer lowers the quality of images?

I'm curious if this is true or not. I've gotten feedback on a few of my own nomination that was due to "low photo quality" even though when I took the photo it has been great and I was guessing the reviewer's quality side was not good enough if they are doing it from their phone or something that does not render the full photo. But with this being brought up, I'm wondering if this is true or not.
I do not think it's true because I'm on a PC and I see the full image when I click on the photo and it's quality and I've seen several images that are good and it could be the reviewer's unable to view it correctly or something.

I typically only use mobile when reviewing and have not noticed any decline in photo quality when doing so!
Low quality image might also be selected if the image doesn’t capture the POI well at all. I’ve selected in cases where, for example, I can’t tell what I am looking at (had a few of those), or they are taken from so far away and the only way to see the actual POI is to enlarge the photo on the screen. I don’t use it often but sometimes the poor quality is not as much a resolution issue as a composition issue.
I think that they mean that the image displayed in Wayfarer is very small, and suggest the reviewer to click the photo so it shows up in full resolution and can check the PoI properly.
Before clicking: small, low quality
After clicking/touching: full resolution.
I do take a look at both the thumbnail image vs the full photo. As I mentioned in the post that I click on the photo to see the full size.
The question I am actually asking is did Wayfarer lower photo quality. Not the translation you're saying. From the look of the replies, Wayfarer does not lower photo quality even though I'd like more input to verify.
If you click on the photo you're doing what the user has added in the additional info as a way to prevent judging based on a smaller picture with lower quality.
That I'm well aware of. You mentioned it twice already.
If you know that, why are you asking about it?
I could be misremembering but I think @Tntnnbltn-ING has insight into images……sorry if wrong.
