Giphy's business model has nothing to do with GIFs, they are just a front really - its all about advertising and user tracking, essentially the same as FaceBook. All those shared gifs are tracked and used to target advertisments with.

Every world leading company won it's position though unfair advantage. Those are normally breaking laws, fraud, stealing technology or slave labour. None of them are there on merit.

Looks like a good case for a DMCA (but we all know that's not what they are for) it's pretty much copy paste rip... You wouldn't steal a car......
