What is your honest opinion of WebP? Not facebook boomer meme "it's le evil!!!!" but your serious opinion about it? I have also asked the 4chan leadership if support is nearing completion btw.

You're confusing JXL with WebP. Very easy mistake to make.

Even if they knew how to implement webp support they wouldn't, out of spite.

just add .webp to the allowed list lol

ads on this site use webp

why would anyone care about my opinion
>>
Who the fuck is going to "bleed to other altchans" over webp?
>>
webp in isolation is fine as far as formats go
webp as it as implemented is cursed
serving jpegs transcoded to webp
serving webp with the wrong file extension
also lossless should have a unique file extension (who am I kidding nobody ever uses webp lossless)

Like or not, WebP is getting more popular so users are going to come across it and try to upload it here. Some of them will grudgingly fire up mspaint or whatever but some are just going to look for places that allow WebP uploads instead.

My name Jeff. It's actually David but I like how "Jeff" sounds.

>>109917871
>some are just going to look for places that allow WebP uploads instead
i doubt it. they specifically came here to share something with their anon frens not to upload something randomly for no reason to show no one on some random alt site.
>>
>>109917796
No, I've seen it being used in the wild now especially for graphics. But this problem isn't unique to WebP btw, JXL and AVIF both suffer from this.

I think the mentally that if a file is PNG = lossless is kinda stupid btw, websites use pngquant all the time and retard users will convert JPG to PNG with impunity.
>>
>>109917888
I use 4chan xt and the 100kb webp images I find online are automatically converted into 3mb png, so thats cool
>>
Needed on 4chan along with AV1 and soon JXL
>>
>>109917887
It'll get quite annoying for them as WebP usage goes up. Not enough to cause all users to leave obviously but many are going to just leave when they realize how outdated this place is.

It sucks at lossless but then again you can argue for lossless being a meme on the web.
>>
>>109917906
I wish I could capture avif hdr screenshots in games and such and post them online without some conversion tool that makes the image look different.
>>
why are internet companies so concerned about saving a few kb from images but allow terabytes of ai video slop to be uploaded per hour
>>
>>109917888
saving a jpg as png incurs a massive filesize penalty so its heavily discouraged
having a very visible distinction between lossy and lossless formats is still useful even if people use it incorrectly sometimes
>>
>>109917553
should be enabled along with whatever the ios users have been complaining about the last decade

whenever they want the fixed php 8.2 version with postgres and redis and grafana and actual antispam that works they know where it is
>>
>>109917566
This, just fuck off already. It's absolutely unnecessary, at best.

Weakest of the new-gen image formats, but I just wish all sites implemented support for at least one. In an ideal world we'd all be able to post lossless PNGs, but I understand that it's impossible to turn a profit if any user can post 5MB images, so just pick anything, literally anything is an improvement over JPEG
>>
>>109917825
There's even a news section that has been basically nothing except anniversary drawings for a few years
>>
>>109917871
WebP is better than JPG and better than PNG for real images (not indexed colors slop).
>>
>>109917553
My honest opinion is that it
a) is pushed by Google when there are better formats
b) is abused by websites force-reencoding your shit to compress it
c) makes it impossible to distinguish lossy from lossless images at a glance; are you saving the full sized image of that diagram or a compressed one? who knows, unless you wanna zoom in and carefully visually check!
d) is basically at best a decent thumbnail format, but worthless as an actual image storage format

My images folder is not a corporate bandwidth-optimised pinterest gallery so I have no use for either saving or posting webp.
I am convinced everyone pushing for webp adoption is some kind of google shill because I see no other reason to genuinely want it.
>>
>>109917987
He should hire me. I could literally use my marketing skills to retain users, provide features that you want, increase board quality using industry standard metrics and without violating privacy (there are frameworks for that), solve the proxy problem, implement AI automated moderation and hand him a ready to use software package deliverable with complete feature parity to his existing solution.

His competence is questionable, or he is hung up by Hiroyuki, to not agree to this.
>>
>>109917871
>pic
Almost every single webp I've encountered in the wild has been some automatically encoded one. It's not getting "more popular" with users, it's just being adopted more by big tech platforms.
>some are just going to look for places that allow WebP uploads instead.
Nobody picks the website they use by the image format allowed lmao

>>109917796
>serving webp with the wrong file extension
Also this, I forgot to mention it. It's always been possible of course but for some reason, it's only with the advent of webp specifically that websites have decided it's somehow okay to serve "example.com/image.png" as a webp.

Depends what image/video format you're talking about.
