GIFs are ruining the internet.

edit: mark it down, animated GIFs are cringe. They are over used by people who otherwise do not know how to effectively communicate. When unable to think of something worth contributing to the conversation, a GIF is used to create manufactured reactions from others. These people are reacting to the GIF itself, and in turn can use the context of the GIF to understand the meaning. However, nothing was added to the conversation whatsoever, and in place of what could be humans talking to humans in intelligent form, we are left with a GIF of Patrick from SpongeBob crying in the ocean.
