Why might the wp_posts table size be large?

Question

MySQL

Greetings.
Connoisseurs, please tell me why the wp_posts table can take 19 gigs?
Revisions and everything else is disabled and cleaned up.
Is there any way to find out what exactly takes up so much space.
The site is not big, 1200 comments, and only 277 posts. outputs 946790 entries.
SELECT COUNT(1) FROM `wp_posts`

Answer 1

I don’t know for sure, because I’ve never dealt with WP, but I think that base64 images were stuffed into the database.
Try it like this:
SELECT * FROM `wp_posts` WHERE LENGTH(`field_with_content`) > 50000 e.g.
It turns out that each post has an average of ~ 20k characters ... Too much ...
