I read 90% of my content in emacs-w3m, in the terminal, where no images load unless I deliberately want them to. It also has the advantage of getting rid of javascript and most page design nonsense, flash, non-text ads, and various "Web 2.0" annoyances.
The result is beautiful, consistently formatted, lightweight, and perfectly readable plain text (fully integrated with my editor/OS, incidentally).

This comes close, but I think there was one where one user talked about how they use Spacemacs (Emacs with Vim style editing), and use Org files[1] to bascially plan their life. Meetings, Calendar events, reminders, notes, TODOs, you name it.

Same here.
They also make me see the author as a bit immature (not necessarily true, but still).
BTW I think your content is great and I imagine you think so to. You commented on the fact that most of the comments were about the GIFs and not the content. I think that should be a not so subtle clue about the value of some lady waving in front of a green screen.
