The writer expects those people to now appear and to start ranting as a consequence of something that has been said. "cue" is grammatically imperative, but no specific subject is implied.

To cue someone means to tell them it's their turn to speak.
On stage, an actor's "cue" tells him or her that it's time to come on stage, say their line, do something, whatever.

Yeah, I know this meaning... But here, I still don't get it. Would it be something in the line with "Let's tell people who work out daily to start raging in the comments."?
Also, in the original text there is a GIF above the phrase I'm asking about. Is there any connection between the word "cue" and this image, or the GIF is just there to illustrate the "yeah, yeah" part?

No, it means "At this moment, people who work out daily will start raging in the comments".
An actor's cue is the signal of some sort that tells him it's time for him to do something. The writer is saying that whatever it is he is describing is something that will act like a signal to people who work out to start posting angry comments.
