I had to look up what the news was about Giphy. Funny how there’s an anti-Meta vibe in the Fediverse, but no problem using Giphy, which until recently was Facebook-owned. I was more interested in how long term the new owner might be (because we want our memes to last), but I think Shutterstock wouldn’t mess with existing content, right?
“Augments Shutterstock’s generative AI and metadata strategy, including mobile generative AI at global scale
Taps into a large and growing TAM in native advertising for brands seeking touch points with customers in-moment via mobile phones and communications tools
Expands Shutterstock’s content library to include GIFs and stickers used in more casual conversations - GIFs have over 75% positive sentiment among consumers
Combines Shutterstock Studios and GIPHY Studios to enable world-class custom content solutions for brands and advertisers
Enables access to a massive user base consisting of 1.7 billion daily users generating 1.3 billion search queries
Extends Shutterstock’s API ecosystem to include GIPHY’s more than 14,000 API/SDK partners”

Actually yeah, you do bring up a fair point there. My guess is that Giphy just flies under the radar most of the time. But regardless, even with Giphy, it doesn’t accept WEBP, and instead wants WEBM.
At this point, I’m just gonna stick with troubleshooting pictrs and why it doesn’t like my files despite having WEBP support.
