I'm 170 KB animated... But my bots are about 4 MB each just because I like them to move smoothly. Maybe I should explore different ways how to animate them without using so much bandwidth. BTW shouldn't profile images be cached for at least a day?

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.
