can you explain why you dislike it without sounding contrarian or schizo?
>>109986103It is deprecated, it got replaced by VP9, AVIF and now AV2.Why would i use a deprecated video codec to store images?Are you confident that software in 15 years time will still support webp? Not even talking about all the software that never got it in the first place (and never will).
Can you explain why you didn't name the WebP codec in the subject or post comment body? Thank you.
>>109986103Actually, I embraced it. I use webp for both my AI art and my website. Very comfy indeed.
4chan doesn't support it, which makes it annoying to encounter as a result when I need to post an image and it's in WebP.
>>109986103I can't see thumbnails of it in Windows, and I'm too lazy to look up how to fix it.
You melanin enriched Americans of African origin will shittalk webp and then post a webm in place a gif, or worse, post an actual 5MB gif
>>109986103Most people just simply don't know what it is or what it does. The thing has amazing RGB data compression (both lossy and lossless) properties. The lossy part is debatable when you include modern JPG encoders like mozjoeg though but even fewer probably know that even exists (which is why they failed).>>109986140VP9 was never used in an image codec implementation.AVIF won't take off until hardware decoding for it is widespread, it's growing right now though.AV2 has 0 hardware decoding, if it does get used in AVIF2 it will be like a decade from now at best.WebP doesn't require hardware acceleration simply because by modern standards it's ancient as fuck. Even 10 year old celerons can decode WebP at 20 to 30 MP/s making it incredibly universal device-wise which is why the internet in general is in favor of adopting it.YES picrel is old and the new fancy rust JXL decoder is supposed to be like 2X as fast but it's still not enough for said 10 year old celerons.>>109987742Many altchans support it now, there's one under construction right now, you probably know which one I'm talking about. 4chan is ultimately stubborn and will become the fac machine of the internet, there's not much we can do anymore but go elsewhere if we want better things.>>109987746icaros
