Is Giphy fundamentally different in some way than Imgur, Photobucket, Tenor, Gfycat, or Animoto? Seems like there's a pretty healthy amount of competition in the space unless I just don't understand what makes Giphy special.
- Teandw 5y agoImgur, Photobucket and Animoto aren't comparable to Giphy. They're targeting different things. That would be like comparing Youtube to LinkedIn. Both social websites but ultimately have different goals/aims. What makes Giphy special is the content/user moat that it has. Anyone can easily create a Giphy website and search engine. You can most probably buy a Wordpress theme for $20 to do it. You can not easily-replicate what Giphy has achieved in regards to content moat and user numbers. I wouldn't call 2 other businesses in the same industry, healthy competition.
