so why aren't sound webms allowed on every board? how come

>>61757884
because then every webm would be a screamer

>>61757889
is every gif gay porn?

>>61757884
I think moot said before that he doesn't want 4chan to turn into a video sharing site
Also every third webm would be a screamer

>>61757889
That doesn't happen in any of the boards that currently allow audio

>I think moot said before that he doesn't want 4chan to turn into a video sharing site
But the boards already allow video, just not with audio

>>61757896
>is every gif gay porn?
No, you got it wrong.
That's not a screamer. That's a cummer.

>>61758064
I have like 99% faith in the webms I see posted, the only exception are YLYL threads where people post ear rape, but they legit think that's funny so whatever.

I really don't understand why they are intentionally INHIBITING the way webms function after DELIBERATELY adding them. Do you want to move forward or don't you? Why introduce and brag about webms if you simply want them to be glorified gifs?

>>61757884
Screamer shitposting.

>>61758064
>He has never visited /gif/

Also this is an imageboard, not a videoboard.

>>61758069
His explanation was that webm on 4chan is just gif version 2.

>>61758255
but videos are just a bunch of images displayed in order. Checkmate

>>61758283
One image per post xD

>>61758274
>webm on 4chan is just gif version 2
so fucking stupid, "hey lets introduce this wonder file format, then deconstruct it to perform only one function"

if he wanted gifs he should have kept gifs. now he has webms, so it's far too late to complain. introducing audio to other boards is the only logical next step forward

>>61758036
You're an idiot parroting what moot said because you can't think critically for a moment for yourself, ever.

Moot is wrong. Every board that has webms with sound has virtually no screamers. I think I've seen two screamers since webm was implemented.

Stop being such a gullible retard

>>61758036
>he doesn't want 4chan to turn into a video sharing site
That isn't going to happen with the retarded file size limits 4chan has.

>>61758304
moot isn't around anymore

and probably the decision didn't even come from moot anyways. The people making the actual decisions always end up being the shitty bureaucrats hiding behind the figureheads.

>>61758338
exactly. it's not like there are going to be threads with people dumping entire game of thrones episodes as webms, although that would be fucking awesome

its not like people are going to stop posting images and gifs, not a lot of people want to bother watching videos anyway.

>>61757884
Because this is 4chan, not Vine.

>>61758327
Woah man, I'm just saying what moot said, even I think it's not well though-out

>>61757889
That has not been the case for years.

Animated GIFs are an anomaly. They were okay when they were just blinking "UNDER CONSTRUCTION!" images, but it all went to shit when people started converting video clips into horrible 256-color bloated GIFs.

I think 4chan should allow sound webms on all boards, tho. The limited filesize should keep things manageable.

The main reason is that say if you were at work and were browsing a worksafe image board using speakers, A webm may look innocent enough but it is able to play some nsfw audio whilst at work.

>>61758133
does making 4chan into youtube sound like a good idea to you

>>61758743
no the main reasion is video with audio is cancer

>>61757884
webm should be removed altogether

>>61757884
>tfw on russian 2ch there is 20mb webm limit with sound, and if you buy pass, then its 60mb

>>61757884
Just realized the meaning of cuckchan.

8gag has double the file sizes and allows more uptodate codecs and audio and you don't often see webms. they also allow mp4.
I'm of the opinion that helpless phone posters can't create any content anyways.

>>61758743
There is this neat little feature found on petty much every computer called a mute button.

>>61758789
Moot tried to make those apps for phone poster

Current day 4chan is shit. Nearly every board is overrun with reddit "I'm so cool because I'm part of muh sekrit club!!!11" types of shit, with the once hated "generals" running rampant.

There's nothing we can do to fix it. Moot is gone. The old 4chan is gone. Spawn your own community if you want to run a tight ship, because it's not gonna happen here.

>>61758036
This, it's an imageboard, not a videoboard.

>>61757884
> is 4chan just very slow to update
This. BTW if rarjpgs are allowed, there's no reason to deny archive posting.

>>61758743
Well maybe you should have been working instead

>>61758743
> The main reason is that say if you were at work and were browsing a worksafe image board using speakers
.../wsg/ allows audio.

>>61758846
>I'm so cool because I'm part of muh sekrit club
This only affects reddit as they have quality discussions. 4chan is dead.

WE DEMAND APNG SUPPORT

>>61758922
Yes, but gookmoot don't update the site.

>>61758743
webms are muted automatically unless you go into settings and turn them on
this is how I know you're a mouth breathing retard with no worth while opinion on anything

>all these idiots thinking all boards are equal
just because you don't get screamers on say gif doesn't mean you won't get then on b or even g because they have different demographics and different sub cultures

>>61759174
>>>/r/eddit

>>61759174
Why is everyone spamming screamers? Just turn your fucking sound down. If that's not enough, videos are muted by default.

>>61757884
I think they should reencode images to jpg on posting
this place is infested with 3Mb phone screenshots and shit like that

this place is slow as shit
I have to go to 8ch to shitpost during live events because 4ch has fucking cooldowns, single file upload, no audio all board and small filesize limits

that bastards an hiro would never upgrade

>>61760099
if large images were a problem, then he could just lower the filesize limit

>>61760187
I am sure they are
last year they changed stuff, and suddenly the image loading turned to trash
the problem is I understand that people upload 3MB Backgrounds, but having boards plastered in 3MB reaction images is pretty stupid, and a waste of bandwith

>>61757884
>how come you can post audio webms in /wsg/, but you cant request source for those webms in /wsr/ ?
you can, for months now

>>61760284
people can't into appropriate resolutions/sizes for different content
news at 11

can you think of it a solution to it? reducing the limit is one, but that hurts the few times where it's needed, like comparing lossless test images

funny that your two examples are the only things i wouldn't consider problems
large backgrounds should be on one of the wallpaper boards
and reaction images are just fine being viewed as thumbnails, don't open the full versions

>webm size limit was reduced to 3mb
When did this happen? Or am confusing it with the photo size limit which is 4mb?

>>61760414
webm was always 3MiB

>>61760472
Ok then I am confusing it with the image limit.

OS developers need to be sensible and set screenshots by default to a jpeg output with PNG option available

I can't imagine how much bandwidth is wasted due to niggers on their phones posting uncropped screenshots of twitter posts of Beyonce

>We decided to disallow WebM files with sound for a few reasons, but mainly because it’s our intention to provide the site with better animated images, and not true video support. To that end, we only accept WebM files with one video stream and no audio streams, that are shorter than 120 seconds long, no larger than 2048x2048 pixels, and less than 3 MB in size.

>>61757884
We have technology traditions

There is no reason not to have webms and PDF uploads to every board.

>>61760363
>large backgrounds should be on one of the wallpaper boards
>and reaction images are just fine being viewed as thumbnails, don't open the full versions
1 if you upload an image that already exists, it gets hotlinked from the original
2 as I said in my first post: reencode to jpeg on non artistic boards
3 let everyone enjoy sound webms

>>61757884

Gookmoot needs to allow VP9 and Opus codecs asap.

Literally the only reason we don't have this is because phoneposters won't be able to play the files, namely iphone faggots.
