Eh, they're serving GIFs up as video and low-res, short compressed videos aren't actually all that big these days.

I've come across animated GIFs that when downloaded in GIF form are 100+MB. That's slightly different than a 100KB jpeg.

Yes but you are supposedly not serving the GIF but the mp4 video.
