Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Reddit has begun to host videos on its own on v.redd.it. It seems as they support to upload GIFs too and provide them as videos without audio through v.redd.it (if I understood this part correctly). It would be nice to have youtube-dl support for these videos.
