    Why are we sending someone to “Extra Hell” for making an improved image format that has better compression and is an overall improvement over all 3 of the existing formats it replaces (jpeg, png, gif)?

    Shouldn’t this apply to everyone who refused to adopt it, thus breaking every normal image workflow? (Same thing can be said about JXL)

      Because they have a poor user experience with an OS and applications that have chosen not to support it properly, and blame the image format for this

      I’d say the knowledge about webp’s benefits is not mainstream at all, I learned about it last week from a random YouTube video. So when people download a file that isn’t working as expected they don’t know who to be mad at so they make memes like this.
