Giving a massive upvote for this, disappointed and confused to see you've been downvoted here. There's literally no reason to use GIFs like this, and - as you stated, it's massively disrespectful to those not fortunate enough to have broadband connections, but would like access to the information.

Using data so wastefully like this always reeks of privilege to me - especially on something like GitHub. Wikipedia, for instance, never allows things like this.

Because it's a relatively new feature, and probably, a lot of devs don't know about it (I didn't).

I did this [animated gif] once actually, before the feature was introduced, and I definitely hated it, but I had no choice.

Thanks for bringing this to the general attention, though :)


Sharing a project with the world and taking time to document it reeks of privilege? I really can't understand your reasoning.
