Analysis:

Reaction GIFs capture the physical and/or emotional response and reaction of a person, animal, cartoon, etc. They are usually very descriptive and show a lot of emotion and facial expressions. They are usually used in response to a conversation to express the feeling or thought that derives from what the other person has said. Therefore they need to be very graphic since they embody a whole feeling in just a few seconds. This counter GIF of a woman just starring shows no emotion and could be hardly used as a way to show a graphic emotion or reaction.

Analysis: 

Cinemagraph GIFs have started becoming more and more popular as they are being used in advertisements and media. They are usually on the more artistic side and portray one or a few moving aspect of the GIF while everything else remains still, therefore making cinema graph GIFs very aesthetically pleasing. This GIF however, of two kids in a hotel room represents the exact opposite. there is nothing artistic about it nor pleasing. It shows random movement of everything and nothing in this GIF is still.

Sport GIF

Example: 

Counter example: 

Analysis:

Sport GIFs usually depict highlights of a game, athletes, fans and anything that pretty much relates to a specific team or sport. Basically, Sport GIFs are like fandom GIFs but for elevating anything that has to do with sports. Therefore, Sport GIFs will only be shared if they are of some importance, if they are captivating amount or if they are funny. The counter GIF depicts nothing else but a bad shot of a glimpse of a soccer ball and some sports shoes. This pretty much shows nothing of interest to a sport fan or sport enthusiast therefore making it a useless and counter Sport GIF.
