Product Hunt just changed it's thumb GIF functionality - is it ok with you or the change wasn't good?

Recently I checked Product Hunt listings.

I noticed no project having GIF playing in their product thumb but when I hovered on products, GIF started playing.

what do you think about this change?

I thought grabbing attention with GIF while scrolling was one way for attracting potential users, a benefit of showing more information about our product.

Now it is limited to just a thumb image, title and description (on initial encounter).
