That plus control over autoplay, looping, playback rate, etc etc. But also because they #gifsAreVideos and the media typism must end 😅 Videos in is practically sugar over right? Is it just about not having to branch or can it do anything doesn’t?

This is quite dated, so I’m not sure about the preloading advantage is true (especially since `preload` attribute is a thing). calendar.perfplanet.com/2017/animate...

Still true. And in fact worse as fetchpriority and loading=lazy is not supported for . Loading=lazy would be good to bring to (though need to think through with preload) but fetchpriority I’m not so sure. I still like for gif-like short-form “videos” and wish we supported it.
