    Can someone please tell me why everyone hates on WebP? It’s supported by basically everything, has better compression, supports both lossy and lossless compression, and supports an alpha channel. It’s basically a trade-off between PNG/JPEG for compatibility and JPEG-XL for features and compression.

      Lots of services online don’t support webp uploads, plenty of programs still don’t recognize webp, etc.
