So we had this discussion 5 months ago, but I don't know if this was actually added to the site. Webm's have been around for some time now, but they still haven't completely taken the place of gifs. They have taken the place of some YouTube videos apparently though. I just stumbled across this gem on ClickHole and discovered it was a webm without a YouTube counterpart and it looks like the last ClickHole upload was a month ago. Do we need webms on the site?

(Edit: Not that clickhole is anything special, but it was a good tinder parody, so I was going to add it to the gallery.)

Are these those stupid autoplay things on Facebook?

No, Facebook still uses flash, and you can turn off the autoplay by either disabling flash by default (which is a pretty good idea anyways) or by going into your obscure account settings. webms are being used on 4chan and a variety of other sites (such as paypal) due to their high resolution and relatively lower filesizes compared to gifs, movs, mp4, flv, etc.
