Toggle to disable animated gif thumbnails

Animated gif thumbnails have plagued storefronts like Gumroad (and Jinxxy) for ages now. I find it incredibly distracting and kind of gross when the whole browsing experience is covered with flashy, distracting, and often highly sexualized animated thumbnails. But I also realize that I may be in the minority here, so I'm not calling for a ban on animated thumbnails, just a toggle somewhere in the settings to hide, or ideally, freeze them.

    It’s unnecessary for most products and hurts my eyes when half the products in the search results are playing them at once

    (Accessibility) Disable GIF autoplaying

    Allow users to disable autoplaying of GIFs for listings.

    For motion sensitive users, and for lower spec devices to improve performance.

    This is bad for marketing imo.
