Here's an animation commission I did for @altruedragon of Altrue and Tahara visiting the forest's hidden hot springs!
Feb 26th:A new bill in Arizona is making its way through the Senate that would force sites like e621 to implement mandatory age verification for all users—or face potential lawsuits. This system would require third-party vendors to verify every user’s age through a government database. Not only is this a massive violation of privacy, but it also introduces serious risks, including identity theft through phishing schemes and other malicious methods. Worse still, we would have no control over ensuring that user data is permanently deleted after verification.
Since e621 operates out of Arizona, this law would almost certainly impact us if it passes. If you want to help ensure that we can continue serving you without being forced to collect personal information, we urge you to contact Arizona’s senators and ask them to vote NO on this bill.
Please help spread the word about this issue and encourage others to take action.

JanitorHighly recommend trying out APNG for stuff that doesn't have sound and is only second long.

MemberI'd never heard of those before this, thanks! I'll look into it

MemberHuge file size compared to webm though.

JanitorI mean, yes, because it's actually lossless fileformat similar to GIF.
But for animation like this we are talking about couple megabytes max if done and optimized properly.
Converting GIF, MP4 or WebM to APNG is really stupid.
The main benefit of APNG is that it is truly lossless, where GIF is limited to 256 colors and MP4/WebM are lossy video files with chroma subsampling. So you already have destroyed the visuals at that point, but additionally your APNG filesize gets bloated several times larger thanks to it trying to preserve compression artifacts that are near impossible to optimize.
You would need PNG image sequence if your art software doesn't have direct APNG export and that website doesn't appear to accept PNG image sequence as upload.
