The GIF Is on Its Deathbed
- kbos87 4y agoThe argument that the file format is slowly becoming less supported May have some weight, but the idea that gifs are falling out of favor seems narrow. An equally lengthy treatise could be written about how gifs literally can’t be killed. They’ve become “cringe”, usage has fallen off, then they’ve been reborn probably 5 times over in the past decade. Id suspect that most gif users here in 2022 acknowledge the layers of irony and nostalgia they are taking part in when they drop one in a text thread; it isn’t lost on most of the people who bother in the first place.
