> Toggle pointless gifs off

First time I've seen that. That should really be the standard for any author who decides to pepper their articles with 'memes' and other unrelated distractions.

Perhaps this is a cultural or generational thing that I am interpreting in the wrong way, but whenever I follow a link to a blog post filled with these kinds of distracting animated pictures I tend to just give up on the article after encountering the first one. I just can't fathom why someone who wishes to inform or enlighten readers on a certain topic feels the need to include a plethora of irrelevant distractions.

Nice to have a way to turn them off so I can give the article a chance based on its merits rather than the presence of memes.
