Social recommendations and mentions

• How are videos being uploaded to image-only subreddits?

  What are you asking? How are they converting one video format to another? They just use transcoding software. Here is imgur talking about GIFV. Source: over 1 year ago

• Looking for a little help/coaching now that I own the latest version

  By the way, there's been a trend for several years to scrap animated gifs in favor of html 5 video. Even for small animated icons, it can result in a smaller, faster-loading file. I think imgur converts them all automatically: https://blog.imgur.com/2014/10/09/introducing-gifv/. Source: almost 2 years ago

• U.K. regulators order Facebook-owner Meta to sell Giphy

  GIF is just a concept here, but if you upload an animated .gif to just about any large image sharing platform, they will convert it to a video format and serve in a element to save on bandwidth. I'm not sure who was the first to do this, perhaps imgur with their invention of ".gifv" url suffix? [1] However right-click -> save image as... On "gifs" ceased to be an option long ago.

  Ok, Automod is stupid. It's going to tell you that linking an mp4 instead of gifv is bad because it isn't as accessible as the latter, but mp4 is the most used video format today, and gifv is literally the same as a webm or mp4, just with a different name. Source: almost 3 years ago
