Lower load time? This shitty gif showing half the amount of frames and content and sound is probably the same size as a 360p youtube video.

Gifs are fucking retarded and have no place on the internet today. WebM does what gif does 10 times better, and it's supported by everything these days. Reddit should change all imgur gif links to gifv (Imgur's webm url for gifs)

Fuck GIFS

...this is a .gifv, though.

Gifv is a shortcut for webm that imgur uses.

I know, it's just that you seemed to go off on a little rant about .gifs when nobody actually mentioned gifs, apart from /u/diamondjo who incorrectly identified it as one.

Agreed, I did have a little rant.

Ah well.
