# size nazism is good
sometimes...

why gif?
why not png which is even smaller in this case?
why bother to gain a few kB?

it's not about size, it's about losing image details

# if you've made something in paint
which doesn't have anything copypasted from an external source, you won't lose any details saving it as a gif, cos it uses the 16 default palette colours for optimisation. you would lose more details saving it as a jpeg

the size difference between png and gif would be negligable.

it's always good to have smaller image sizes to save on bandwidth because: a) some people have slow connections (people do still use dial-up) and b) some people have limited bandwidth, and even though it's only a few kB, if everyone was making big images, and with a few reloads of the page it all adds up.

and what it is about, it the joke anyway, not the image details.
