Comment Comment by LukeLambert Over 60 MB of GIFs on that page according to DevTools. The Fight Club GIF alone is 9 MB.It's a terribly inefficient format, but I think a lack of free and open video formats (and editing software) is partly to blame for its meteoric rise.Also: video is harder to share and is typically recompressed on every upload, reducing quality. parent LukeLambert 10 years ago
