Aha, I remember now. I was puzzled by what this comment meant at first. This isn't the first time I've come across this site!
I recall being annoyed by this, too. Fortunately, uBlock Origin[1][2] came to my rescue back then. It's a great adblocker which requires minimal configuration out-of-the-box, but also offers a bunch of Power User options for the more discerning Internet user. One such option is a point-and-click tool[3] that allows you to block arbitrary elements loading on a given site, which I promptly used to obliterate this image on first sight. :-)
