GIFs don't load or play correctly in my browsers, despite being up to date and running on unreasonably powerful hardware. Animated GIFs are so unbelievably inefficient that they're often unwatchable even on modern computers. I can't count how many times I've clicked a link to a GIF, decide I didn't want to wait five minutes for the thing to fully load, and moved on to the next amusing link.
