Where are you seeing this?
Probably to WEBM format. And I agree with that sentiment. Much smaller file size, but you can't copy them like a gif since they're treated like a movie file.
Have you never tried to copy a webp? Or have you been blessed by never having to mess with them?
I mess with webp every day, its great for compressing because it keeps great picture quality
Are you telling me when you look at this image: https://lemmy.world/post/49219082
You can't copy it?
You can, but you can’t paste it into certain apps as it isn’t recognized, or attempting to will paste the URL instead in others and load it like a shared link.
Which is a failing of those apps if they don’t accept a widely-used format that’s existed for 16 years now, is it not? Why blame the format for that?
