Looking at the source of your comment, that's WEBM in MP4 clothing.

Huh, I don't know where to find the metadata like you did, @WhoIz. This one was for sure a .gif file.

I see a static frame of the gif in the comment and then click on it to fill screen and see the gif do it's gif thing. *Still on Voyager client
