The problem is that the clanker is lying a shitton in ways that sound plausible: - Lottie is a standardized format. And of course, a new format won’t work for clients for a while! => It has the benefit that it is like SVG but animated, is much smaller than GIFs, and can be scaled up infinitely - Of course, migrated packs are signed by someone else. Duh. - It does not run through Telegram except for imports. Anyone can download a Lottie file or make their own and turn it into a sticker

Also on the scalability: that makes packs future proofed. Right now the few clients that do support custom emojis display them at line height, what happens when a client decides to make them display bigger? Some people have just assumed they would always be tiny so may have made their bitmaps in accordance to that. Honestly JPEG XL is the saner option for bitmaps going forward, since it supports progressive decoding you can download a file partially, with just enough resolution, but that’s beyond the point.
