Filmgrain preservation is overrated

Filmgrain is just a noise. Pleasant noise, but still noise.
I’d prefer video source without filmgrain than with it. Two reasons for that. First reason, microscopic details aren’t drowned in grain. Second reason, significantly better compressibility. In the end you have better both: visual quality and compressibility. Win-win situation.

Good news that new Netflix series/shows have much less filmgrain or don’t have it at all.
Instead of blaming x265 developers for not preserving grain it’s time to forget about useless filmgrain to begin with
