On the early days of 4chan, people were able to combine ZIP archives with image formats to pass arbitrary file collections via image posting. I think the decision had something to do with wanting to stop people from posting videos with multiple streams to conceal video content. However, on 4chan now, if you try to post videos with more than 1 video and audio stream, it can detect that. The decision has never made any sense. That it persists to this day is even weirder, considering that the audio component of a video is the lowest part of its filesize.The utterly bizarre decision to ban webms with sound was one of moot's weirder end-stage decisions. It never made any sense.
