This is an interesting idea, and I can see the value... But how does this work for those with disabilities? Will screen readers describe the image in the mouse over as well? (I imagine so, if alt tagged, but I'm not sure and would love to know)

Also in documentation, I always loved the Grafana documentation for being sprinkled with short gifs to demonstrate different features.

If I can click elsewhere to get them to go away, maybe they aren't too bad. First reaction was to wonder if this was satirical, though. :)

What about using video with control instead? Furthermore what about performance?

I imagine they can read the text parts with a screen reader. Doubt this is any different than adding an image anywhere else

I think this is neat. It’s probably not always useful for everything, but definitely very cool for many kinds of apps, nice work!

And he didn't mention a change in conversions - which would be far more convincing.

I think the point is that it autoplays and gives you a very quick rundown on the specifics of the feature/pricing. The way they're using gifs in the demo, it doesn't look like controls would make sense, but I think the message of this article is more about providing meaningful information about services and pricing than the gifs themselves.
