AND!!! man im irritated about the gif situation. not to be like Its The Hardest Thing Ever because its not but its not like the easiest thing ever and people genuinely think its a matter of just making a video a moving image when it looks like actual dog shit if u do that. making good looking gifs is a skill and im really really bored of everyone enjoying it and no one actually respecting it. tiktok editors can credit someone who did just compile moments from the source material in form of clip packs but cant respect when gifmakers (who edit the source material [often quite painstakingly]) or even credit because that would mean crediting often 20 people at a time and admitting theyve done no actual work. go to hell. sorry. except no im not. its not that serious whatever but it is disrespectful and you know damn well they dont want you doing it and its not hard to respect a creators wishes. if you cant create, dont. dont pass someone elses work off as your own. its dishonest. the ai fic writers of the editing world.
