I can’t believe nobody else has pointed out… BRO when you set ILoveCandy also SET

color

It is set but GIFs simply hate colors.
Instead of using a video format as a modern replacement, can’t we just invent a better Gif format? Gif is somwhere inbetween picture and video formats. Maybe a simple container with a meta & settings file (speed & so on), similiar to comicbook?

video but with a “loops”, “has controls visible” and “remove audio” setting

so it doesn’t even have to be part of the video format, just muted mp4 or webm with looping and UI settings

Well there’s APNG (animated png). It’s even “backwards” compatible with the regular PNG file format.
