Youtube now has an embedded GIF creator... very nice move IMO

This was the best function YT introduced since the beginning of YT

Looks like it only works on videos where the person has enabled it

There's been a lot of buzz about this but it confuses me some. Was making an animated GIF from a video difficult in the past?

The tie-in is nice of course and the editor seems to be well designed for YT specifically but still, making GIFs ain't exactly breaking new ground.

My god, the internet is going to be fucking plagued by 1000x as many shitty gifs now...
