If you see your gif playing once you post, try to use a smaller thumbnail and if that does not work use a different approved host.

    Why does the Celeb Video section get so much less love than the Celeb pic section? Seems it's universal to forums. Is it a bandwidth thing? Or... tell me
    I like photos in motion better.
    tell me, is why I'm asking?

    my guess is because video takes longer to upload and does use more bandwidth. i prefer video over photo

    Also i think there are less celeb Videos compared to Pictures. Pretty much a lot of the premieres, paparazzo and so on are photos while most of the videos are either interviews or captions of shows and films.

    I prefer vids over photo but yeah uploading can be a slog and some of the dl hosts are tedious. There isn't as recent vids uploaded as there are pics. Kinda a circular problem.

    Hey if you ever upload a vid of celeb nip slips or tits on the beach and the choice is between vid and pics I think the vids will win so its also a content issue.

    Pics are more timely and give members a greater opportunity to complain about stuff. With video, it's difficult to accuse someone of being a drug addict while they are giving a clever interview on Jimmy Kimmel or showing their tits in a love scene.

    The pics are easier to down load but the vids are more fun. But for a lot of the pics there is no video that covers the same thing. So in short, there are just so much more pics they get all of the love.

    The video section is literally filled with reposts because the uploaders earn a couple of cents an upload from the filehosts so it becomes useless. It's been a wasteland for years.

    There are tons of pics of Bella Thorne in see thru tops but not one video of her walking in a see thru top
    thats a big reason. Different celeb but same content issues.

    Maybe because it takes forever to download for FREE from the various hosters?

    Those are all good points. I seem to get about max speed from mediafire, but yeah, a lot of them throttle you like crazy and I don't think you can even dl from uploaded anymore for free.
    So we need more Jake Gyllenhaal-esque paparazzi creepers with good video cameras and faster internet.

    It comes down to what the paparazzi are using.
    They use photos not videos.
    I wish they would go full 4k video.
    then we could see all the jiggling.

    Though its UHQ pix for me over video almost every time; I'm gonna be really controversial now; and say I like Gifs best of all. At least well made ones; not the shitty jumpy things some monkey's post... lol.
