OMG, this is next level, well done fuzzamorous!

Yeah I noticed that as well. Is this common with gifs?

Yes, because you are limited to 256 colors max, because the fileformat is from literal 90's, so you just have to use what colors are available. Also once that data is gone when using GIF, it's gone forever.

Most websites have tried to substitute GIFs with MP4 and WebM video files (includes basically all GIF services like GIPHY, Tenor, Gfycat, etc. and websites like Imgur and Twitter), but you are using lossy format with chroma subsampling which isn't ideal either (GIF was also used as lossless image format online back in the 90's as PNG wasn't a thing). WebP kinda fell on it's face and always has chroma subsampling, AVIF might be viable in future, however now we already have APNG which we can use and is both lossless and has full color support.

You can compare post #2758746 APNG and post #2733798 GIF and look at stuff like the body how there's less color banding (blotches/circles of colors) going on with APNG and everything is proper smooth gradient.
Or post #2196867 APNG and post #2194775 GIF where there's no dithering noise visible on characters anymore, background has more color detail and variety and filesize is also lower with APNG.
