huh, I contributed hundreds of hand made GIFs to tenor when I was big into Twitch, yet again the hard work of people gets eaten up by a company and closed off. Fuck you Google/Alphabet, I hope your AI eats your fucking lunch
all good things have to end
cant have nice things here!
Tenor is Google?
I feel like megacorps should have to tag their stuff.
Parent companies shouldn’t be a thing. If a company buys another company, it should be fully integrated, and all branding should be legally required to reflect the new ownership.
Parent companies shouldn’t be a thing
I think stopping there is best. We don’t need companies buying other companies, full stop.
I don’t even think there should be a stock market, or companies not owned by the employees. Hell, I might have enough of these to get a bedtime Arya Stark chant going.
Someone should find or make a website with a graphic showcase of corporations links between them.
yea wish we got some heads up about that :/ eh I probably missed it
same…I am full of regret and it’s far too late to do anything about it…
At least it was fun at the time :)
This news has been around for months yet I still cannot understand why they are doing this. They can’t actually be thinking that anybody would want to go to tenor.com and look at gifs right???
It’s like if my ISP decided I needed to drive to a local office in town to pick up my data packets. WTF!?
Discord already moved to using Klipy since early Spring or so. It’s ok, I guess.
Has it? My Discord channel shows me a Tenor gif I posted just yesterday that I shared using the native search.
If they are using Klipy, it must be a hybrid solution at the moment.
Weird, you’d think they would keep it running just for data harvesting
Need to free up some servers to run Gemini
Maybe they have harvested enough. Or not.
Link rot is gonna be crazy
Kids these days have sterilized the word gooner.
I already made the move over to Stoat.
When I post gifs I post them as gifs, not as links. I am not affected.
And: I disabled link preview in Discord. I’ve never seen your tenors, I just guessed them by looking at the url. ^^
OP speaks like someone used a tenor Gif to kill his family lmao.
catbox.moe for the win
I have never seen a catbox.moe gif that worked.
Annoyingly, its on one of the most common pihole/adblocker lists, and I could never find a legitimate reason for why it is.
Anonymous file uploaders are pretty commonly abused to distribute malware so considering how popular catbox is that’s probably how it got on there.
The thing is, there are much worse services, that serve malware ads, that aren’t on the same lists.
Clearly not a gooner
Every time i see “chud” I think: Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers C.H.U.D
People who keep all their gifs and memes in a single folder win again.
Where are you hanging out that has you so bitter over gifs? Find a better community or friends.
I swear to god 90% of gif usage is for the worse
On a related note why are you so bitter over people being annoyed by the enshittification of yet another small source of joy in this hell world?
Is this that sour grapes thing? Or do you have an issue with people using reaction gifs to convey a concept that’s either too convoluted or requires too much context to type out?
For example, this entire comment could have just been;
