Description

In continuation of this discussion.

Thanks for this 👍

Works ok for redgifs.com links.
Old Gfycat links now identified as NSFW however redirect to gifdeliverynetwork.com.

example (obviously NSFW, I went with something relatively tame)
https://gfycat.com/whirlwindreadycats which redirects to:
https://www.gifdeliverynetwork.com/whirlwindreadycats

I don't know if this needs a separate thread or should be posted here since the video is hosted on redgifs:
https://thumbs1.redgifs.com/WhirlwindReadyCats.webm

Research direction

Reproduce the example gfycat.com/whirlwindreadycats URL and compare its gifdeliverynetwork.com redirect with the existing redgifs.com handling referenced in the issue. Trace the relevant link-handling entry point in RedReader; done means old NSFW Gfycat redirects are supported consistently with the linked redgifs webm.
