improving profile artworks, revert the GIF limit downgrade, or bring WEBP support

I recently found out gif uploading limit reduced, even 8mb wasn't enough because at that size with GIF format you will get very low quality output.
lots of people cares about how their profile looks like.

The giant video at the top of https://store.steampowered.com/steamdeck is 3 megabytes. Stop trying to make HD gifs.

It would be nice to have some other supported extension of community content than .gif
WEBM by this point ought to be supported by practically every browser out there.

For the few browsers that don't (I think mobile safari?) h.264 mp4 will fill in the gap.

Exactly, that's why I said it was a video. gif is not a file format that was designed for HD images or high frame rate animations. It was made in an era when 640x480 was considered a big screen resolution.
