Eskating cyclist, gamer and enjoyer of anime. Probably an artist. Also I code sometimes, pretty much just to mod titanfall 2 tho.
Introverted, yet I enjoy discussion to a fault.

Yes.
If you always direct-play, the only bitrate you can use is original.
If you ever need to watch on a slow connections using a lower bitrate, that will require transcoding.
If you use a direct file link, which for gifs on imgur would be .mp4 instead of gifv (which isn’t actually a direct file link), the video will embed in some clients. I’ve not seen it work in a comment, but posts will have an embedded player if the url submitted is to a direct video file.
Alternatively, if you’re posting a gif or don’t need sound, turn it into a .webp. The file will be much smaller than an actual .gif, and play in most clients. It also works in a comment, like so:
“Cut through the enchanted woods, they said”
