Sorry for off-topic but I really don't understand why it is so important to give credit for something like animated gif which takes maybe 1 minute to do in a convesion software and that's it, that's all the effort put into it, really. And even why people consider such gif "theirs"? Sure they made it out of some video, which was not theirs in a first place and use some usually free conversion software which once again was written by someone else. To me it feels like if I make gif from entire movie for example and then go and say, look this is movie made by me. It is not...
I don't mean to offend anyone but this is how I feel about "ownership" of such things.
Once again I apologize for off-topic.
Yes it's just politeness, then it was just for a bit of humor after the rather sterile conversation that there was
For me it's important, because it's not simply a matter of putting in software. It there's a whole lot else to do, make a coloring that makes good, change the second image so that it does not go too fast ... And this is not the topic here. It's just that it's okay to recognize the "work" of someone in my opinion whether for the gif, or something else, imagine a person who spends hours looking for a photo, find it around the next second it's a little irritating
