Most videos (at least those linked to from meme-based image sites) are stored in GIF format...
While I don't disagree that the storing videos in GIF format is incredibly inefficient (and annoying), I somehow don't think that "meme-based image sites" are actually a significant fraction of internet bandwidth use compared to websites that use more standard video formats.
Not to mention that our poster child for "meme-based image sites" now supports webm, and the format has become incredibly popular there.
