This is a simple workaround for readers that don't want to or cannot change settings or reconfigure their browser.
Every Wikipedia article has a link at the bottom of the page to "Mobile view", which brings you to the Wikipedia version optimized for mobile devices (only reading, no editing). You can also go there directly: {{URL|//en.m.wikipedia.org}} (other language versions too). On mobile Wikipedia you go to "settings" and choose "images off". Done. All images are disabled (without placeholders) while you browse the site. You can enable images again at the same place.
