I hate .webp, almost no software supports it. I can see it reduces the amount of space, but I’m always having to convert it
That format is awful from a user perspective.
How so. I get that the support isn't there yet, but how is the format itself awful
The format itself is perfectly fine, it’s just that most software doesn’t work with formats made in the 21st century
Literally, you answered your own question. From the user end, unsupported file types of any frequently shared format are garbage. No one cares on the user end about server space. They care about sharing a funny image. They don't care about 2 extra ms of load speed. They want shit to just work.
It's the same reason Open Office sucks. You can't rely on it to just work. As much as dev's hate it (myself too), reliability is king. Webp fails this measure, badly.
Why? I use it all the time and never had issues with it
The only program that I ever use that doesn't support webp is Facebook Messenger.
Lucky
It performs like trash when trying to copy to text messages.
