I don't think users of your bot are happy to download every day 4MB for a profile picture :) It's just wasting resources. Btw, animated images can be quite disturbing for some people with specific conditions (epilepsy, ADHD, autism), therefore, as a general rule, they are not recommended for good accessibility.

The bots are animated smoothly (for example, @Fiat News 💵📰), so they're much less disturbing compared to my profile picture. I'm more concerned about the size. But you definitely have a good point about accessibility. I will see if I can find a different image for my profile without changing my Nostr identity too much.

As a general rule, I agree. But animation in a PFP is an incidental feature, actually a bug. Rendering a still image for gif/webp is not simple, often requires extracting the first frame or leverage some rendering exceptions to halt the animation. Better manage it at the source.
