You could also upload APNG (much higher quality and only slightly higher file size)... but... the compatibility is awful

Yeah... I don't understand why they don't add WebM support... it would save a LOT of bandwidth AND would look much better


 
gif is outdated as fuck... why are we still using it?


 
It's like mp3... WHY DO PEOPLE STILL USE MP3 WHEN MP4 IS 25-30% BETTER FOR THE SAME BITRATE


 
And Opus is another 5% better on top of that... although Opus is still.... experimental


 
Now H.265 I can understand.. H.265 is about 30% better for the same bitrate as H.264 but the compatibility is shit and the DECODING power is a LOT... meaning playback might be a problem for a lot of people


 
Also it takes a lot of power to ENCODE... so mass encoding (like Youtube) is out of the question
 
I'm pretty sure Opus is better than Vorbis and Vorbis is better than MP4... although it's NOTHING compared to the difference between MP3 and MP4
 
And MP4 is OLD... like... it came out a year or two after MP3 which was like... over 20 years ago
