AMV has been around for years now. Plus, this was likely posted to a community that knows what an amv is and never intended for here

The guy who posted it here should have expanded the initialism

While years is technically correct, we're at the "decades" mark on amvs

I don't know if I've ever heard the initialism AMV or not (though I've watched plenty of them), but even not knowing what it was it was pretty easy to figure out from context (though i thought "animated" instead of "anime", but close enough anyway)

Some acronyms and initialisms, I don't really get why they're so hard for people, especially in context

They're not, people just like to complain and have things handed to them. In that order.

Yeah, I can remember them from the early YouTube days, but I wasn't 100% certain if it had been decades yet >!and I didn't want to think about how old I'm getting!<

If it makes you feel better, the oldest AMV is from over 40 years ago

If you're older than that... Sorry

...it was reposted here, how was it "not for here"?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The original post, not this post, wasn't meant for here. It was meant for it's own community

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

And it was reposted here, with no explanation. ISHYGDDT
