And the GIF won't display properly for half the people on here anyway.
It's not quite the last straw, but … we're getting close.

Lmao my favorite thing is that I haven't been able to find a single reaction gif that I've wanted to since that update. Lime hooray for a million options but what's the point of you can no longer find the one you want?!

Just use the mobile site. It's always been better than their shitty app.

Can't find my favorite gifs and I constantly swipe them away when trying to scroll through them.

You should ask for your money back.

We aren't the customers, but we ARE the product. If the product stops being produced it has a similar effect as losing the customers.

What platform? You're saying you can't have both text and a GIF in the same comment?

It wasn't even the number of characters (which is beyond ridiculous), extra text made the gif disappear.

I'm still using a really old version of the app, and they've made it so a popup keeps coming up saying I should update. A mild inconvenience that I'll live with

Yeah just hit the back button or the hidden x at the top right.
RunawaySpoons
I did but it would pop back up again instantly every time. Literally couldn't do anything on here without updating.

It's wild that they forced us to use Giphy's library, where the URLs eat up more than half of the character limit in a comment. I'm sure they'll make the appropriate "we hear you" platitudes eventually.

I posted about this a few weeks ago. They said that they knew they weren't keeping up with updating the Imgur library so they added the Giphy library. Supposedly they were working to include the Imgur libraries in with the Giphy feed. But it was difficult so they updated the app with the Giphy library and are still working on the Imgur inclusion.

They literally can just use the damn tag system they implemented. Sure, some garbage makes it into the tags, but so what.

The last comment I saw from a mod about it was "There's a problem with Giphy? This is the first I've heard of it" and then nothing was done.

Basically their entire work ethic whenever they're being confronted with criticism, usually followed by muting the user in question. Ask me how I know!
Idontspellcheck
How do you know?

Ol' McFly muted me as soon as I started getting critical of what he was doing with Imgur rather than rah-rahing like he would have preferred. In all honesty, since I made that feeling mutual it's been pretty nice.
