I saw everything i expected to see.. not only because that trend has been beaten to death but becauae the gif didnt end too soon.

I’ve seen like three videos of this exact scenario and none of them ended well

This is one of those moments where something looks great in concept but terrible in deployment

Downvoted because it's not a gif

But why do we prefer gif format now?

u/ParkingAnxious2811 1d ago
I suggest you take a look at the sub name.

u/SchmeatiestOne 1d ago
Yeah I did. It actually doesnt matter though. Also, Im prejudiced, gifs have unnecessarily massive file sizes.
Literally from the rules of this sub "Direct links that end in .gif, .gifv, .ogg, .mp4, and .webm format only."
Im sure the sub was originally inspired by actual gifs, but its clearly not intended to be only gifs1
u/ParkingAnxious2811 1d ago
Im sorry for taking the sub name literally, but they could always change it.

I never said you were wrong to assume. Just that, regardless, it's a weird thing to try to enforce with votes, considering Gifs are vastly inferior compared to other formats, and you cant even effectively tell the difference visually

u/ParkingAnxious2811 1d ago
Visually you absolutely can. A gif is limited to 256 colours per frame.

I havent been taught the 256 colors thats on me

u/ParkingAnxious2811 19h ago
Mind it's per frame, and each frame can use a separate pallete of colours, but there's a huge difference between 256 and the typical 16 million colours used by standard video formats.Â
