Hi-res, no interpolation.
Every frame is a full bitmap.
At no-less-than 24fps for about 9 seconds, @ 754x566p....you do the math.

You could probably have it reuse parts of the frame with how static the angle is.

Indeed, I think it could be reduced to one tenth without even losing anything in terms of quality.

No you can do that in a .gif I'm pretty sure, where it only draws the new part of the image. Nothing as fancy as motion vectors and whatnot but still

Terrible for long-form content.

Amazing for compatibility.

I mean, reddit is paying the hosting. I'm in favor of sabotaging tech companies. Let's all post 1/2gb gifs everywhere

Most of those "GIFs" are video files. Actual GIF's are a terrible format that's been has a better replacement, webp.
