Like many people I’m here because of reddit going to shit. Twitter has increasingly been shit. gycat is shutting down in September. To me it seems like lots of bastions of social media are crumpling, but as a previous active reddit user, I’ve been personally effected. Is this just a frequency illusion or has something changed in the world that has changed the business case of these sites?
Well I didn’t know about Gfycat shutting down but I do now. :/ Damn, not even it is safe.
I’ve never been able to read gfycat as anything but “go fuck your cat,” so that’s a thought I never knew I’d miss.
uh. i’ve always read it “giffycat” but the other way might be the gold standard.
Gfycat is owned by faecesbook, right? No wonder.
It was Snapchat that bought them out. Not any better though.
