Gruber nails Facebook's acquisition of Giphy

I couldn't figure out what about Giphy was worth $400 million, especially since its search seems so bad recently, and too many results are themselves the results of marketing campaigns or similar.

Then Gruber nailed it:

Of course Giphy is going to retain its own brand. If they renamed it to “Facebook Tracking Pixels”, usage might drop off.

I think he's got that one on the nose.
