Apart from the normal Facebook detractors, this is big part of why I deactivated my account. 95% of content on facebook is now in video format. Aside from the reasons you mentioned, it's also a huge drain on battery and slows the responsiveness of the site down considerably.
If I want to see videos, I'll go to youtube or vimeo. Don't force them on me when I'm trying to find quick info.
- delecti 9y agoI cannot remember the last time I saw a video in my facebook feed (in the feed, not directly linked). Maybe your facebook friends were just particularly annoying.
- superb_herb 9y agoI've literally never seen a video in my feed. Granted, I have about 100 friends, who are my actual close(-ish) friends.
- giobox 9y agoYou are exceptionally lucky then. As of several years ago, they autoplay in my and everyone I've seen using facebook's feed all the time, many (perhaps even most for some) of them are ads rather than friend posted content. Fortunately they appear to stay muted until selected, but it's still annoying none the less. This is both via the website and in app (iOS, I'm sure other platforms suffer the same).
- mattmanser 9y agoThere's an option to disable autoplay in the settings. https://www.facebook.com/help/community/question/?id=10202634558606616 https://www.facebook.com/help/community/question/?id=1020263...
