The animation is really fun. Maybe I am unusual, but I have never in my life been annoyed at image load time, even in the dial-up days. I just simply open a new tab or window and continue reading an article or writing code if loading takes too long. But when websites start adding "progressive" placeholders that don't decrease the load time but increase the CPU, that's what annoys me since they prevent multitasked work from being done. If I don't care about the images on the page, I'll continue scrolling, but when my scrolling becomes laggy while an image placeholder is being rendered, it's just unnecessary. So think carefully if you want to take over the resources of your users' computers, which trades visuals for feel. "Feeling" your website (interacting with it) is more important than its appearance at all points in the loading sequence.
