Note: This is not time critical or anything, Just something for the future once things calm down a little.
we've already got people posting gifs of dancing animu girls that take up your entire screen. Do not want. If they were limited in size to like 64x64px or something, or opt in, that'd be fine. I do not like having the giant images just pop up and break up the flow of comments.
You may now struggle in the session.
Wait this isn't struggly enough.
Anime is revisionist! 
I use RES and I guess that turns them off. I never realized Reddit did this. I've never seen it.
RES does not turn them off. They show up on both old and new reddit.
You've never seen it because people rarely use it. The use will settle here too.

Huh.
If so that's pretty wild. I can't believe I just missed it.
Though I've really only been on like five subs since 2022 and they're mostly art subs.
It's the meme subs where you see it most. Generally communicating entirely through images is seen as boomer shit though so it doesn't happen that much. Reaction gif subs use it a lot as well as the stocks meme subs.
Fair enough I haven't been on any of those since pre-pandemic I had no idea.
As a feature it has very little use outside of either memeing, using it to show graphs in effortposts, or using it to spice up certain posts with a bit of imagery. An inline image in the megathread topics would improve them, or you could put 2 or 3 peppered throughout an article.
As commenters? The main use is memeing and won't be seen all that much other than that. People will use it a whole lot to begin with because of the novelty though.
They've been collapsed automatically for me on old reddit since they've been announced.
more subreddit dependent, there were a few i used that used them a lot and it was annoying
