At this point, killing GIF is a UX problem, not a format problem. I've talked about this before [0], but the big problem for me is that video is just difficult as hell. Compared to a GIF, it is just that much harder to save a video on

Personally, it's not primarily about the actual ads, but all the tracking and JavaScript and shady UI patterns. Somebody trying to tell me I should keep all ads on because ads pay for the content? Fuck that, tracking my every move pays
