4y Mp4

Gifs were never intended to be used as they are today. They are an image format and yet they are commonly used as a replacement for videos. Since gifs were never meant to be animated they also aren't optimized for video usage at all - which results in gigantic file sizes compared to dedicated video formats such as mp4.

And yet they are being (ab)used, especially in big communities such as reddit. "But it's only a 10 MB gif" you might say. It is "only" 10 MB for you but it may be one minute of loading or 50ct for other users. The internet isn't yet well-developed in many parts of the world and even in big industrial countries it comes at a cost - especially mobile internet which is still an expensive good. And more than 50% of users visit reddit using a mobile device.

I wrote this bot to fight against the usage of gifs as vide replacements, to raise awareness of way better alternatives. Please stop using gif as a horrible video replacement and start using dedicated video formats such as mp4.
