People who post giphy links instead of an imgur gif, what's the deal?
I have to go through slightly more effort and I'm lazy af.

Imgur nuked its own search function and I, too, am lazy AF, so I'm not about to reupload every gif I like to my own account just so I can find it.

I just find it better to have a wider selection to choose from. And with the Imgur options list, the search results are too small for me to see what the subtitles are most of the time.

oooh, Like I said to another person I had no idea. I just started seeing them often

Because I don't have an exhaustive library of favorited gifs to cover every occasion and Imgur decided to outsource the gif function to Giphy. Imgur apparently doesn't want to do *checks notes*... image hosting.
woozle
yeah, that sounds about right.

Giphy. One more reason to leave.

when I see an incredibly long link I think "I ain't clicking dat"
DutchBoeremeisie
No, you're not supposed to see a long link. I suppose there are some kinks that need ironing out still. If it goes right, you should just see: https://media4.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExMXF4MTVtMnE1Znh2emViOWFscTd1aG8yajZqbGZyM2wzNTNhcWNodiZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/cYZkY9HeKgofpQnOUl/giphy.gif

That is so bizarre. What platform are you on? On both pc and Android phone I see the gif.

Imgur has integrated giphy, at least on mobile, so if I use imgurs built in meme search, i get the giphy stuff.
woozle
ooooh, I had no clue. Thanks!

All good, sorry to you, or anyone who has to deal with it!

I have only ever used the old desktop version. :/
