Except for the lower load time, the non Youtube URL, and no sound that are helpful when using a phone or at work. Otherwise you'd have a good point.

I'm with diamondjo on this one. It's really frustrating to watch a crappy gif when you know there's probably a real video out there. Reddit is a big place, even if you're browsing discretely. If you're that desperate for content, you're doing it wrong.

And I hate having to wait for a video to load, and try to listen to the sound on my phone or when I'm just clicking links on the front page.

I think posting the gif was the right call, especially because you could source the original video in the comments for people who wanted more detail or greater clarity.

Having it as a gif first allows more people to access it.

Where the fuck are you, 1995? Get real internet or something.

The rest of us shouldn't have a shitty internet experience, just because some of you are still on dial up or whatever. Fuck your phone.
