The moment they replace a gif image with ads it will kill all that goodwill. I do think selling the gifs would work though. People (1) are willing to pay a lot for attention/be cool/social/funny. The strategy will be to purge the Internet from gif images containing content from their partners, so that you can only find gif images from their site. 1) I'm glad HN doesn't allow gif images in the comments. If you are reading this you are probably not in the target group that might be willing to spend money on gif images.
