I just noticed…this is wrong topic. I wanted photo-editing-section.
I guess nobody would mind if you move it there (please) 
sorry…but forcing to dowload immediate filesize 26Mb even if one don’t want it…
this has only 14Mb even it has the double length (or more), sound, a better resolution, option to open in fullscreen mode and needs only the bandwith if one click it.
I will never agree to gifs.

While @NaggeDanseGanseDaag is a bit
about this, because 26 Mb are not what they used to be, he does have a bit of a point; the gif format is very inefficient.
I see you use EZgif, and that website can also create webp files. I have not tried their webp features, but switching to that file format has been a real game changer for me.
The files are just so much smaller, or so much better quality at the same size, there’s really no reason to stick to the gif format. You know I do a lot of these, and onle very few of mine are bigger than 10 Mb these days, and I’m doing big resolutions and up to 30 seconds per animation. They usually load faster than they play, so you don’t get much lag in the forum display.
the main thing is…scroll through the topic ‘funny gifs’ and see what happens.
each time when you scroll and a gif/webp appears, it starts downlowing it. try to stop it. good luck.
that is what makes it ‘useless trash’ for me. i don’t want to get it downloaded each time when i scroll trough something.
To be honest, I don’t understand the hype surrounding One Battle After Another. Apart from a few scenes that are worth watching, the movie as a whole didn’t appeal to me at all - even though I actually really like crazy movies. To my taste, DiCaprio doesn’t suit the role he played at all. But the vast majority seem to love the film: it was nominated for more than 500 awards and won 180 of them. That’s pretty impressive.
I hadn’t heard yet of the other two films you mentioned…
While I do think that One Battle After Another is a quite good film, it is a bit over hyped. It clearly profits from being a politically charged film in a politically charged time, even though it is not directly addressing the Trump administration. The voters in these awards like to take a stance. They may also feel that Paul Thomas Anderson is over-due for big awards recognition. His masterpiece There Will Be Blood lost to No Country For Old Men back then, which was a tough call.
The parallel you drew between current political events and the movie sounds entirely plausible. So you are most likely correct in your conclusion regarding the hype.
I haven’t seen There Will Be Blood, but I still remember Javier Bardem’s performance as the iconic villain very well. 
(It’s hard to believe that his role is documented as a supporting role.)
I’m a huge fan of the Coen Brothers and No Country is one of their very best, but with the distance of the years I’m leaning towards There Will Be Blood being the slightly better film, you should definitely check it out,
After this post from X made me aware of the parallels between the movie and reality, I now think that the movie is very clearly addressed…
Today I had the opportunity to test the latest VDH version on another computer: yes, you see only 40-second chunks in the list, but during the download, a continuous stream was recorded that eventually became over 700% of those 40 seconds long 
It would have continued like that if I hadn’t manually stopped it at that point, as I only needed a few minutes.
I’d say it’s still usable and functional, but it’s not becoming any clearer or more intuitive…
Do you mean it is recording “faster” now?
No. It just makes the display of how much has been recorded even more confusing.
The speed still depends on how quickly the VH servers deliver the data.
