Basically: GIFs autoplay on people's Tumblr dashboards, proper video formats don't, and that's pretty much all people are trying to achieve in the first place. If we just had some sort of file-extension/media-type (.webg, maybe?) that signalled to a browser "I'm a video container, but treat me like a gif, by defaulting to autoplaying, looping, and muting me", we'd replace gifs instantly.

Gif is also a non-lossy format (albeit with a limited palette). Pretty much all video codecs are lossy. What will really replace GIF is animated PNG.

This is irrelevant. You don't want a lossless format for web video - the size is too excessive.

After the bubbling, the people aren't any "more naked" than before. Their clothes are no longer visible, sure, but the people aren't any more exposed.

not sure if serious....

I don't get it. Of course he's serious.

I am genuinely baffled by the people who think bubbled pictures are more NSFW than their unbubbled originals.

Well, that's a pretty weird subreddit. Lots of people on there trying to get their "friends" bubbled, probably without most of these "friends" being any the wiser...

There are a lot of pretty weird subreddits when you get right down to it.

Yeah, I guess so. This one verges on dangerous, though.

because if you are at 'work' or such environment that warrants the NSFW (Not Safe For Work) tag distinction and you click on a bubbled picture, it would give the illusion of viewing softcore pornography rather than, say, a typical bikini picture from a social networking site (which would arguably not be okay to view at work to being with).

Your mind fills in the gaps. What makes a picture NSFW is what it makes people think, not so much what it actually is.

Actually I found out one. There is no Hale Berry subreddit. And even after I made a TIL post nobody cared :)

http://www.reddit.com/r/halleberry Maybe if you spelled her name correctly?

:) Screw me

I've seen worse.

I mean, really, if you want to find weird stuff, and this is pushing your boundaries, don't look too hard.
