It's good for what it's good for.

Lack of proper support
Webm is played as a video format in most places unlike gifs which are still treated as images

You're on 4chan and on 4chan there is no sound and ridiculous file size limits.
Here it's a .gif replacement, elsewhere it's actual online video.

Image format vs. video format. They both have their place. Personally, I think a video format have no place on an image board. I didn't like how some image boards allow you to upload zip and rar archives either.

is it possible that video sharing social media sites like snapchat, vine, instagram, twitter have a deal with ISPs not to improve their video compression to artificially keep data usage high?
