What happened to GifBoom?
I first downloaded this when I was in 8th grade, and let me tell you, I was in love. There were a lot of nice people on there at the time, a lot of funny kids my age posting AGE-APPROPRIATE gifs, and even a lot of my own friends started making one regardless of how new of an app it was.
However, 4 years later, its changed. First off all, Ill start with the innocent stuff... What in the world is a gif if it has sound? I feel like the moment that they added sound to the gifs was the day that things started going downhill. Its basically all videos now. I feel like more people are basically posting videos on GIFboom, rather than silent gifs alone, how it should be. They should have kept it how it was from day one: traditional, classic, SILENT gifs.
Now, onto the not so age-appropriate stuff... Long story short, PORN EVERYWHERE. When I came on here, I was what, 12-13 years old? Everything was perfect and age-appropriate. Today, though Im a little older, this still is not acceptable. There are tons of little kids whore going to be experimenting with which apps they like, and at some point, they will come across this one and see things that they should not be seeing on a website that used to be so great, entertaining, and age-appropriate. Why arent these getting taken care of? This was never how the app used to be.
Another thing, THERE NEVER USED TO BE THIS MANY ADS. I cant even remember there being any ads at all 4 years ago! What an annoyance. Youve changed, GIFboom. Ads, pornography, and videos replacing the classic GIF. Im disappointed.
It was nice while it lasted,
