Not if people can’t view or save them. PNG and JPEG are superior.
That's a problem with adoption not the format.
If the only advantage is that it's a smaller file, that's absolutely no advantage at all.
How cheap is storage these days?
Some reports is that is saves space by half. that's a LOT of bandwidth. And for storage? It's cheaper now but as storage and bandwidth increases, so does the size of media. Higher def images and videos can now be easily and quickly shared so they are. Being able to decrease most images by half is an insanely huge advantage.
