Ok client devs, we gotta talk. Can we please, for the love of everything good, use MP4s for animated PFPs. As an example, my pfp with sound (can reduce another half by removing sound) is only 500kb in mp4 and more than 1mb in gif (1980 wants their format back a decade ago)

Damn. I'd always assumed they were compressed. Perhaps not where stored, but where displayed. Similar to how you might do on a web page thumbnail. That's a lot of fucking data being used at scale lol

I'm an asshole who still uses them. But mostly because that's just what's out there. I'm perfectly happy to use something better. I don't think most people would care either.
