Had no idea this was even at risk of shutting down...
Kinda glad GIFs are dying.. they were beyond annoying specially in discussions. didn't help that reddit started incorporating them into the comment section.
That's crazy. Things are moving fast these days. It seems every private company owning a big website is trying to squeeze money out of user or closing.
So what's the open-source alternative for gfycat? We got a trend started here let's keep it going!
The problem with something like gfycat isn't the source code, it's the storage and bandwidth. That shit is expensive and there's no way to do it for free without showing ads and not go broke.
The death of the old internet continues..
Most likely the new internet. That, where every website was created with money in mind.
