If you leave a reply, I (personally) would NOT want a large image like that telling me you up-voted my article. I can see who up-voted it using any number of tools if I really wanted to know. However, writing in WORDS that you up-voted my article will usually get me to look and see what kind of up-vote you actually made. The same applies to a re-steem.
It is a cool gif, but it clutters up my page and most likely really has no relevance to what I wrote about.
This is NOT my page; I'm simply another reader adding my opinion to the topic. I can't see the odd one here and there being a big nuisance, but if everyone started doing it to get noticed, it would be a real mess. That's why I would not encourage people to use these large graphics unless it is appropriate (like a contest ASKING for the submission of images).
I have a separate question, more on topic with this post... I want to become the best I can, so I am curious if you think this is spammy...
I make them myself, and people seem to really respond well to them... But after reading your post, I wonder if it is too, "LOOK AT ME!"? Thanks!

Fully agree... almost all authors don't appreciate gif like this..
Okay, I really appreciate your advice... Do you want me to remove my GIF example from the comments?

Much appreciated!
I don’t like a GIF in the comments unless it relevant and adds something to the discussion.
Agree with you
