In firefox-63 announce I noticed the following links:
https://css-tricks.com/introduction-reduced-motion-media-query/ "An 
Introduction to the Reduced Motion Media Query" and the reference 
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/prefers-reduced-motion

I am unsure if it is worth respecting such preferences (whether enough 
users aware of it) and I have no clear idea concerning implementation, 
so feel free to ignore this remark.

Depending on the mood, sometimes I would prefer several still images to 
one animated. E.g. for authoring: 1) org file with a couple levels of 
folded headers and visible beginning of content for some section, 2) 
table of contents fragment for the same headers in PDF or HTML, 3) org 
fragment with e.g. an equation or a table, 4) export result for the 
fragment.

There is a web site that I like for high quality texts (mostly) but the 
authors tend to use animated gifs too much. It could be annoying when 
you are tired and decided to read some news to relax. I missed "do not 
repeat gifs" checkbox in the browser settings. Some animated images are 
appropriate and more informative in comparison to ordinary pictures 
however. I do not provide the link since content is not in English.

On the other hand I think that a video on the main page could be 
convenient for mobile visitors. Personally, I would prefer single video 
to animated images scattered over the page. Of course, it requires even 
more efforts, and I am unsure if it is better to use an external 
external service or there is no problem to host in on the org site.
