Gif is perfect for showing small animated icons and simple pictures, not complete movies. The problem is more on the user side, expecting too much from a 37 year old standard.
Ultra audio and video compression for dialup internet. 250x compression with predictable results. You could speed up/slow down audio without changing the pitch, which was kind of cool in 1995.
I didn’t think it was possible to invent a worse format than .gif for moving pictures.
Congratulations!

You must not be old enough to remember vox format.
I am, but I don’t.
