In 2017, this was proposed as one of several possible animations in the Backblaze client showing you are uploading files from your laptop to the cloud: https://i.imgur.com/L16xkMj.gifv It is an animated Gif, if you don't see it moving.

When I saw it, I had to send an EXTREMELY uncomfortable workplace email about a very personal activity two people do with something dribbling out. A few minutes later I hear from across the room "Well I CREATED it and now I can't unsee it!"

The decision was made to avoid that animation in favor of something else.

It could have been made a company theme. Great, now I'm inclined to see how to subtly sexualize everything on the Backblaze site. The _back_end_ is ripe for exploitation!
