those aren't actually gifs.
they're frequently webms.

various people don't care or don't know the difference between media formats though, so they'll just call anything remotely gif-like a gif.

It doesn’t help that the shorthand for moving picture sequence is gif. I remember when internet pictures were commonly called jpegs no matter the format. I don’t know what else people should use
