Really interesting work there, and I particularly liked the gif-based story telling - https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg...

I like that they have them, but I really dislike automatically animated anything when I'm trying to read. I installed an extension that can pause gifs. because Google adds them to so many of their blog posts now.

this is solving engagement problem, not readability

try it with a mindlessly boring topic you can barely get through a paragraph of, not something you're actively trying to read

It would be more useful as something like a video that plays while actually in view. I was actually reading the first part and when I got to the GIF it was in the middle of the animation.
