Does anyone have insight as to whether this same evaluation re:AVIF applies to WebM? Edit: saw somewhere that it is used in production for real-time video, but

  Yes: Google heavily promoted their format but unless you’re serving a high volume of traffic it’s not worth the cost of doubling your storage and maintaining a separate toolchain to lower your transfer by perhaps 10%. By now more devices have hardware support so its performance is more competitive but at this point I’d go straight to AV1.

    Perhaps should clarify. Much of the reaction appears to be to Safari support for WebP. Those reacting believe that WebP will stick around even though used VP8 (Could have just hurdled straight to AV1). So curious to ask if those same people reacting think WebM will also stick around longer. It’s a bit different since WebM uses VP9, but, there perhaps there are still potential issues, and personally not know about browser landscape/hardware support.
