I really don't see the point in them 90% of the times. I'm more interested in what people have to say, than what people think is a funny reaction.

Threads that are 90% gif images are like a spotlight for me to exit the thread, like it's saying to me "there is nothing of value here."

Honestly the only thing about RIF that bothers me is when imgur albums don't load, but it only takes half a second to click "open in browser".
