Me too. That awful gifv has never worked on my older Samsung tablet. I don't understand why not and I gave up trying to diagnose the problem.

Other imaging hosts that serve up .mp4's as substitutes for .gif like giphy work just fine. It's just Imgur that couldn't figure out how to make this work properly.

It's very likely the terrible redirect shenanigans they do on gifv. And have just expanded to all files on all platforms, oh boy.
