I feel like I've said "that's wild" every other comment since joining lemmy, but damn that's wild. The Internet is straight up dying.

Why Snapchat discontinued gfycat?

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

probably wasn't profitable enough to justify keeping it around

The Internet really is trying to delete itself.

I am so happy that I learned to build a habit of saving everything I wanted to keep from the internet over the last couple years. I can't imagine what it would be like if I hadn't saved my history and all these websites started going pop even though they were big names in their day.

I hated this website though, it replaced all of the good gift images that support for software viewing on my phone for tiny short videos which were an absolute pain in the ass to view in line with my other content.

Would be great if every service didnโ€™t make it as difficult as possible to download content

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Well that's frustrating.

I need to get all of my stuff off of there ASAP - I used to post a lot of stereoscopic photos from my Nimslo 3D camera there. Sure I've got backups elsewhere but it was nice having a web friendly compressed copy to just link quickly.

Ex: https://gfycat.com/equatorialliquidcolt

Anyone know of a way to download all of their gifs in one go instead of having to manually download them one by one?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yet another one didn't make it. Well damn, fuck this year for sure.

I have seen so many 'end of an era's over the past decade, I'm wondering if the era itself is ending.
