Extinguished by Snap(chat), as it's a competitor
How is a gif hosters main competitior a app mainly used by teenagers for sexting?
I genuinely don’t understand this either. On a surface level I’d say they’re not even remotely related so I’d like an explanation here.

Snap(chat) is Gfycat's parent company. The short version is they're hemorrhaging money and have been for years so they're cutting this as part of cost saving measures.
