Tenor is Google?
I feel like megacorps should have to tag their stuff.
Someone should find or make a website with a graphic showcase of corporations links between them.
Parent companies shouldn't be a thing. If a company buys another company, it should be fully integrated, and all branding should be legally required to reflect the new ownership.
Parent companies shouldn't be a thing
I think stopping there is best. We don't need companies buying other companies, full stop.
I don't even think there should be a stock market, or companies not owned by the employees. Hell, I might have enough of these to get a bedtime Arya Stark chant going.
yea wish we got some heads up about that :/ eh I probably missed it
same....I am full of regret and it's far too late to do anything about it....
At least it was fun at the time :)
huh, I contributed hundreds of hand made GIFs to tenor when I was big into Twitch, yet again the hard work of people gets eaten up by a company and closed off. Fuck you Google/Alphabet, I hope your AI eats your fucking lunch
all good things have to end
cant have nice things here!
This news has been around for months yet I still cannot understand why they are doing this. They can't actually be thinking that anybody would want to go to tenor.com and look at gifs right???
It's like if my ISP decided I needed to drive to a local office in town to pick up my data packets. WTF!?
Kinda insane how much of the internet is owned by Google. Rockefeller is crying in his grave that his SO got hacked up
When I post gifs I post them as gifs, not as links. I am not affected.
And: I disabled link preview in Discord. I've never seen your tenors, I just guessed them by looking at the url. ^^
Weird, you’d think they would keep it running just for data harvesting
Maybe they have harvested enough. Or not.
Discord already moved to using Klipy since early Spring or so. It's ok, I guess.
Has it? My Discord channel shows me a Tenor gif I posted just yesterday that I shared using the native search.
If they are using Klipy, it must be a hybrid solution at the moment.
Kids these days have sterilized the word gooner.
I already made the move over to Stoat.
catbox.moe for the win
I have never seen a catbox.moe gif that worked.
Clearly not a gooner
Annoyingly, its on one of the most common pihole/adblocker lists, and I could never find a legitimate reason for why it is.
Anonymous file uploaders are pretty commonly abused to distribute malware so considering how popular catbox is that's probably how it got on there.
The thing is, there are much worse services, that serve malware ads, that aren't on the same lists.
