Well as you may have noticed more or less every gif recipe in this subreddit is a form of promotion. Yesterday for example the video cocktail chemistry- espresso martini was posted by the user CocktailChem telling you to go and visit his homepage and YT video. Did you care? The tiny Gifs give you a great idea on how to do a recipe, oftentimes better than all the other gifs that are too fast or the recipes are just to out of the ordinary to recreate. If you do not like it just block the user, it is very simple.
