My problem is the way it's packaged as a link to a website that hosts the jpeg image. Saving, modifying, and using the image file becomes impossible in some workflows. Imagine a future where you get fined for stealing memes. I bet they could make the image file size even smaller without all of that bullshit added in, until then I'm just using an extension to convert to png (which results in loss btw).
Converting FROM a format to a DIFFERENT FORMAT can cause loss. In this case from one compressed type to another.
Or the output is a comic strip about a miscarriage.

This is the most compressed meme
You are saying that you use an extension to convert from WebP to PNG, right? PNG is a lossless file format. It’s compressed, but losslessly. Like zip is also lossless compression. You can remove information to make it more compressible and then it’s a lossy process, but that’s not because of PNG, but because of the specific workflow.
Not true.
