I know that's not fair comparison, but imaging clever compressions were not invented and you would download terabytes of data to view a small movie.

What question are you trying to answer? Nobody asked what is compression and why do we use it. I have been encoding videos since VideoCDs were a thing, so I have a pretty good understanding of how compression works. The fact that I differentiated between spatial and temporal compression should have been a clue. All I was pointing out was that compressing a postage stamp sized video and comparing its filesize to a large megapixel image isn't a fair comparison. (yes, I'm jaded by calling 1080p frame size a postage stamp. I work in 4K and 8K resolutions all day.)
