@xgqt@jeder Probably less to do with browser performance and more to do with bandwidth savings. An equivalent mp4 version of a gif will usually be ~1/10th the size or even less (depending on how compressible the orignal was.) Makes a lot of sense if you're running an image hosting service
@xgqt@jeder Not too sure about that. Both services mentioned will compress the images greatly reducing quality. Sure the image's resolution might still be 4k sometimes if the service decides to keep it that way, but the quality will be visibly impacted.
@xgqt@jeder Most services will compress to save bandwidth and storage. Discord locks quality behind Nitro, so at least it's attainable. Meanwhile I'm fairly certain Tenor always compresses.
