what are .webp files and why has my online experience been plagued by them?

I don't know what a .webp file is but I don't like it. They're like a filthy prank version of the image/gif you're looking for. They make you jump through all these hoops to find the original versions of the files that you can actually do anything with.

Edit: honestly I assumed it had something to do with Google protecting themselves from image piracy shit

Adobe has no time for it, so it ads that annoying extra step when collecting assets. I would appreciate Adobe support for it natively in Pr / Ps / Ae / Me and I'm cool with it.

Wow, doesn't surprise me that Adobe does not support it. They still don't support full screen or native dark mode on macOS in After Effects. Guess poor Adobe can't be bothered to update basic functionality.

There's a plugin to add support in PS, it's worth getting if you use them often.
