Topic: Animation size vs length

So, yet another animation that loops more than once and, at least from my perspective, goes through all the same motions even though nothing new is happening the second, third, fourth, fifth time around.

Probably a stretch asking on e6, but for any artists that see this, why do you do this? What is the purpose behind stretching out a video for longer than it needs to go? Isn't that a lot of extra rendering on your machine when you could be working on another project? Not to mention the storage that's probably required, idk, I'm not a creator aside from typed work.

The way I've always seen it, go through everything once, tack on your ending after the whole animation is done, and if people like it enough, then they'll download and cut the end card if they really have to play it on a loop.

Sometimes I get curious about how much space is taken up here (and my own drive) by content that repeats and could be removed. Ah well, had to get this one off my mind.

For those artists that don't do this and can do a perfect loop, I love you.

well if it fully repeats multiple times, they only need the one loop rendered, and can just repeat that like 5 times.

But I'm guessing the extra loops are for people who can't loop the video themselves. If you're a mobile user on a site that pauses the video after it's done, what do you do? Downloading the video doesn't solve anything, since most media viewers on mobile do the same thing.
