Why not go the webm way like 4chan did? (soundless, limited size webm)

Lack of IE, Safari (iOS and OS X) support?

ive seen webms with sound. i mean heard them..

Webms have sound.

4chan allow webms as long as they are soundless and are, at most, 2 MB. It works as a replacement to gifs.

So... they were losing eyes to gfycat and decided to copy them?

is this in anyway related to webm?

Quality looks very good either way.

It is an mp4 video.
