I share that feeling. Just as the world seemed to be getting nicely settled with PNGs along comes Giphy with a mission to destroy the universe. So even when the anim isn't either a tedious throwback to the worst excesses of geocities, or there just to distract and annoy it's garbage quality. Someone will post a video, in gif form, to help illustrate some post, and you can barely make out a thing as the dithering has sent the detail to oblivion. Just make an mp4. Simply being able to stop a gif anim by hitting ESC was far too useful, so browsers don't do that any more, or sites are somehow blocking it. I don't understand the appeal of gif anims at all.
