When a piglin is admiring a gold item, one can make it skip the animation by distracting it with other activities.
Steps to reproduce:
Spawn a piglin
Make sure the difficulty is not set to Peaceful
Get some golden items, blocks of gold and a pickaxe
Go into Survival mode
Drop some golden items on the ground
Place some blocks of gold
Mine the blocks of gold
Observed result:
The piglin skips the bartering animation and gives you the item straight away.
Expected result:
The piglin continues the animation and gives you the item only after the animation has ended.
Original Description
When the piglin is holding gold and you do something to distract it like moving a gold block with piston. The piglin will immidiately finish the bartering process and give you the loot, skipping all the admiring animation. This can be used to make instant piglin bartering farm which is really over-powered

This is a widely used exploit by speed runners (using the gold blocks that naturally spawn in bastions) and also in people's farm designs. Arguably it would make more sense for then to cancel the trade but keep the gold out of anger
I would hope that this becomes an intentional feature, it really saves time when trading, and it isn't a very large exploit.
