When uploading an animated GIF to xHamster the files are processed for some unknown unnecessary reason. The processing dramatically increases their size. I uploaded a 958kb GIF and then downloaded it back to my computer. The file size increased to 4,959kb. Processing slows down xHamster computers and takes up more hard disk drive space. Large GIF files also use more bandwith. xHamster is the only website that I know of that converts animated GIF files to make them larger. It doesn't make any sense and costs time and money.
