Question for people who post GIFs on Tumblr

Why do you have to make them suck?

Take this one, for example. Why does this have to be grainy? What, exactly, is accomplished by fucking with the colors? Other than making it look like ass, I mean. Is it some stupid hipster thing? Whatever it is, stop doing it. Please.

Notes
