- whycombagator 6y agoHuh? Maybe my adblocker is blocking some, but I only counted 4 - and 3/4 are demonstrating execution context. Only 1 is irrelevant. Also, I thought all gifs looped - or at least, it’s common for them to loop.
- SahAssar 6y agoI didn't say that they were all irrelevant, only that they are distracting when trying to read the textual content. It's possible to do non-looping or at least pauseable either by using a video file (like most "gifs" online do these days) or using JS. Either way, having stuff move around right next to text you want people to focus on is generally not a good idea.
