Ask HN: WebM or WebP for GIF Replacements?

There are benefits to either approach, but using an animated webp image has the benefit of using the same workflow, semantics and markup as a gif (aside from accessibility concerns).

A webm video requires more changes to templates and partials and redoing a lot of work, but is [apparently much faster](https://corydowdy.com/blog/apng-vs-webp-vs-gif).

I've read that the underlying tech for these is the same thing, so if I wanted to do a replacement gifs, which one should I choose?
