(Wouldn't make much sense if I made this poll Patron exclusive.)

Simple question: Should I include GIFs in the MEGA folder?

Pros:
-Backing up more stuff is always nice.
-Keeps the MEGA more active in times when I make less MP4 animations.
-In extreme cases, they could be uploaded at a higher quality than on dA and FA, due to GIFs tending to run huge.

Cons:
-GIFs tend to run huge. Most of them that I upload average around 8MB, which would add up pretty quick, hitting transfer and storage limits on MEGA sooner.
-Even on MEGA they're still going to be a lower quality and run shorter than the MP4s.
-They're already complete on dA and FA, unlike the MP4s, which have their quality gutted.

Just convert it to webm with ffmpeg or something, it's super easy. GIF should have been dead eons ago, I don't know why people still even use it!

WebMs don't work on dA and FA. I'd probably be uploading /everything/ in WebM if those two sites weren't stuck in the 90s.

Haha, yeah. Only SWF works on FA I believe... But I particularly meant MEGA. I mean, people can just download the stuff there. Downloading a 2MB WebM is better than streaming a 10MB GIF imo. I don't know which encodings MEGA would support to preview though.
