More GIFs? Probably. But in those days, animated GIFs were much smaller in both dimensions and filesize and only had a few frames.
Let's check what's on that website: 19 javascript files, for a total of 1,058,266 bytes (yes, one fucking megabyte of javascript on a 1990's-style website... are you kidding me?) 17 GIF images, for a total of 1,149,430 bytes (more than one fucking megabyte) 12 PNG images, for a total of 183,245 bytes (quite normal, although at the time GIF was much more popular even for non-animated images) 6 JPEG images, for a total of 113,833 bytes (again, quite normal) We won't talk about the 50KB HTML and the 26KB CSS files which are required to display the old-style website on a modern browser. A real 1990's web page would probably have more HTML and less CSS.
Total for everything: 2,795,691 bytes. That's extremely heavy, even for a 2019 website. I can't imagine anyone waiting to download that monstrosity in the 1990's.
That many animated GIFs, at those sizes, are hard even for my old Core 2 Duo CPU with 16GB of RAM. I can't imagine a computer from the 1990's able to display that webpage.
And paying for CraveTV means more cash in Bell's bank account, which allows them to try to push more bullshit like this one and have money for their lawyers to screw us all. So I'll never subscribe to CraveTV, even if it was only 25 cents per month.

Any software engineer worthy of his title should have thought about that possibility.
If you write 780 characters when you're speechless, I'm wondering how many you would type if you had an opinion about something.
You know, that's one thing I never printed, because Spock is better than Yoda.
Are you talking about Mars One or Hollywood?
I got a 3D printer right here, buddy! I can 3D-print you a rocket ship if you like, but you're going to need a huge-ass slingshot to put it in orbit.
I can't live on the moon, you insensitive clod! I'm allergic to dairy!
Much Dogecoin! Such Mars!
It's their money to spend... and I'd rather see them building rockets instead of wasting it on Louis XIV chairs and other useless crap.
Now, where's my Tesla electric bicycle, damnit?
Unless your name is Timmy.
Their invent-new-month-names department blew up their budget.

Dude, I'm so negative that I'm positive.

Yes I did. And it makes for awkward situations when trying to masturbate.
You can insult me, but do not insult my horse! He's not dead yet! In fact, he's going for a walk and feels happy!
So everyone with older devices is left to rot? Fuck you, Apple.
Exactly! That's your wife's job!
Damn. So we can assume you're one of those #VanLife people? I don't see how else you could have survived for a week stuck on the highway.
Or just prevent you from going over the speed limit. Because if we're going to speculate about what should/will happen, this is what it should do.
Apart from that? Netflix costs less than CraveTV.

Bell Canada didn't acquire Times New Roman, though. You can stop abusing the <code> tag.
Stop making fun of us! We're Taconadians and we're proud*!

So a patch for iOS7 for my iPhone 4 will be available soon?
