There are ways to turn them off or make them play only once

If you generally finds them annoying and want me to stop and the majority of you agree, I will. Just let me know.

My only complaint is the additional load time/lag it presents on the main page, especially on mobile. If you make it a hover to play gif (like Pornhub) or trim down the videos featured on the main page dramatically then I think it would be fine

Hi Dave,

I love the animated GIFs! They load instantly for me. I just checked my connection at speedtest.net and I'm at 90 Mbps. Is that exceptionally fast? I have no clue. But, they work fine for me, for what it's worth. And, I think they're nicer than still pics. But, you must do what's best for the majority, of course. :D

Yeah, I guess it's a fair alternative to still pics.

I'll make them shorter and hence smaller, and will only use them on the What's New page. I will leave the individual model pages with pictures only since most of these pages are now large and would take a long time to load. I may split a few of the bigger ones, like Jasmine, and have a next button at the bottom.

None of it really bothers me either way, but I miss the pictures that came with new videos for a variety of reasons. The short teaser/gif just seems... less.

I will admit that I don't know why the pictures matter, but if you guys really want them then I can start adding them again.

I do like the pictures, as well, because they often show parts of the clip that aren't shown in the teaser.
But as I said, if the gifs are easier to make, then that's fine, too.

Like Mine said above, the pictures generally show more than the teaser as far as across the entire "episode". In some movies yoi can see progression, and depending on the movie you can even track bulge from beginning to climax and climax to immediately after.

Not like gunna leave if they don't return or anything lol... was just giving my opinion.
