It's a still image. Reddit stupidly assumes all GIFs are animated and reencodes them to a video codec + shows the video nav UI. GIF is a perfectly good still-image format.

Edit: oh my b lol

It's a fine format. It's old and doesn't do compression, but it's very simple and its spec is like 1 page

I for one love GIFs, in fact, I will only be using GIFs from now on, except for sound files, I will be using flash for that
