    Why are people down voting this?

    It may be a bit pedantic and out of topic duty the meme, but it’s true. .MP4/WebM would have the same effect much more efficiently and with higher quality

      idk, people really hate getting told this for some reason.
      I experienced the same on reddit once where someone was sharing something they made, they had converted their video to a .gif and uploaded it to imgur.
      It was terrible quality, I told them they could just use an .mp4 and that imgur was converting their .gif to an .mp4 anyways so using a .gif was just lowering the quality, for some reason I got massively downvoted and the OP didn’t believe me when I said imgur makes all .gifs into .mp4s…

      I just want people to use modern, efficient, higher quality and less buggy file formats :(
