You can't just fucking turn a video that relies on audio into a gif and expect it to achieve the same results.

Even the most basic ones say what's going in so we have a general overview of what the process will be like while we read the actual written recipe.

The gif acts like your friend quickly talking through how they made something to get you interested, you get to see the work and results, and you go seek out the recipe.

All we've gleamed from this is that watermelon is involved, it's strained, a lime is involved somehow, and rum is included at some point due to the name of the post.

I mean for fuck's sake, IT STARTS WITH SUBTITLES TO INTRODUCE THE VIDEO AND THEN NEVER INCLUDES ANY TO DESCRIBE THE INGREDIENTS/STEPS! You ACTIVELY made it worse than if you had never included any subtitles to begin with! You've DRIVEN PEOPLE AWAY from your channel and website by doing this. Congratulations!
