Why is it that I can post the attached mp4 but not the source as a gif?

To make the mp4 I encoded the gif in handbrake, which actually made increased the file size but reduced the dimensions.

Source gif:  728*408, 785.5 KiB
Encoded mp4: 640*360, 836.7 KiB

    I feel like something’s gone very wrong if the MP4 is dimensionally smaller but has a larger file size than the GIF
