Agreed. I think people see little video clips and think "oh, a GIF" without realizing that imgur, giphy, etc. don't actually use GIFs.

While they might not know the specific term, they do know that something is different with those services b.c. they can’t save the ‘gif’ videos as easily as they can with real gifs.

Also, twitter and Facebbok convert uploaded GIFs to video.
