You mean it's blocked from using in those threads?

No, I'm saying if they only support videos now, just post them in the funny videos thread.

Videos are usually deleted from the Funny Images thread because a lot of users cannot see them at work as they are blocked and some auto play which can use a lot of data for mobile users.

It seems Giphy added the gif back now. Before they completely took it away.
