I would like to start a discussion and ask the NS population a couple of questions
As you may have noticed, Photo of the Day has recently turned into GIF of the Day.
Fact: A GIF is a Video Clip on a loop, not a photo.
Fact: A vast majority of GIF's posted here are not posted by the original content creator, just regurgitated content from a random.
GIF's are awesome,who doesn't like watching a banger over and over? BUT the issue here is in the integrity of Photo of the Day. Photographers and riders alike all strive to 'Win NS' for the day and have their original content on the homepage for all to see. Content that fits into the category of POTD because it is a photo, and not a recycled video clip.
Do you guys think that it is fair that GIF's can now get POTD?
I personally think that photo of the day should stay traditional, and be photo's only.
Now I am not saying that we should cut out GIF's and not reward those with high ratings and views, but perhaps create an entirely alternate rewards system where it pairs GIF's against GIF's.
