I think we just need to restrict the use of gifs.

In most cases they should only used if the subject cannot be conveyed fully by a static picture.

There can be exceptions but that should be the general rule.

For instance a gif just to show a blinking light is no more informative than a static pic would be. So a static pic is the better choice.

Like this one really did not need to be a gif



But these two are not bad as Gif
