Posts like that with embedded hidden images can be an attempt at cookie stuffing or similar cross-site hackery. The site that serves the GIF can run scripts that set cookies and other things. Cookie stuffing is an attempt to get bogus affiliate credit for Amazon purchases, eBay purchases, and similar affiliate programs. If iBasso has an affiliate program this person could be attempting to game it.

Best protocol would be for you to edit your post to remove the clear GIF image from the quoted text, just in case.
