Custom animated profile pics

[󠁳 ⁧Silverwing]

Probably it has been suggested already cause it seems like a thing people would want, but here's my idea for implementation.
Now with the resent release of counter strike 2, animated profile pics are actually animated in-game. So now the demand for animated profile pics will actually increase.
The problem is that there are 1100+ animated profile pics, yet me and my friends dont like 99.99% of them. So we end up scrolling through so many and we dont find anything we like, its a waste of time. The remaining 0.01% we like are still not really worth buying but we dont mind them.
So i would say we should be able to buy the ability to upload custom animated profile pics/gifs with steam points, just like we can buy extra showcases and themes.
It should probably cost anywhere from 5k to 10k points

yes dude, as you said, a background with 10k Steam points would be very nice and much prettier than the others.

Agree

Don't expect any animated User Generated Content. Valve seems to want to restrict it to Points Shop items made by developers.

so eventually there will be like 10k avatars and searching through everything will be such a pain, there arent even filters that can help u find what u want, there's only filters for the game

Copyright violations would be through the roof because people would use a image from Google thinking they can use it. So no.

what? ppl already use images from google xD Being animated or non animated has no difference in terms of copyright violations

[eram]

yes but it costs you $100 per month to have a custom animated avatar. deal?

thats how much it would cost to moderate it.

this thread is about custom animated profile avatars. this feature will add additional strain on current moderation and they are not equipped for it.

adding millions more reports costs money.

So you admit you steal images that how you get sued, and other actions. You just proved why this shouldn't be added.

What? Where did i admit i used a picture that i didnt get permission to use? I said "ppl use" And nope, i didnt provide a reason why it shouldnt be added. Tell me what your reasoning is. If i upload a still image or an animated image, where's the difference? :D How does only the animated one have copyright issues lol

"this feature will add additional strain on current moderation " You could't be more wrong, if i wanted to use a profile pic from an anime or a movie, whatever, the pic itself being still or animated has no different impact in terms of how many reports you get. And an animated one wouldnt be any more vulnerable in terms of copyright compared to a still image. It has no difference. So you are using literally 0 logic here.
Also "millions", really? :D millions ??? :D

eram was a former Global volunteer moderator and would know this more than regular users.
