Effects that cause seizures in some are usually annoying to everyone else. Me included. But autoplay of video in general is still useful. They should move towards making it a preference. Disable auto-play animation by default. Opt-in. This preserves freedom of expression while respecting freedom to not have a seizure / freedom from irritating auto-play videos. PNG format is handled by browser. Should be followed up with those guys as well to prevent / control autoplay. The ability to flag videos as strobing might help as well. Let the crowd find and classify something for the rest of the crowd. Have a flag for "allow video flagged as containing strobing". All that said, as I think about this and just some of the potential mitigations, simply just banning it outright is a quick, straightforward and simple solution. I completely get why they'd just do that. Life is short.
