A youtube link? Why? I was surprised of the sound and volume. Didn't even look at the website before clicking. Quickly hit the back button, I like reading text,

  Because it get the message across. Within the first 15s one can see that Amazon do have some questions to answer.

  As someone who also enjoys reading text, I tend to read the domain name before following a link, if only because some web site, like the NYT, aren't worth clicking on due to my lack of a subscription. In any case, there have already been three links to text articles on the topic: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=pastWeek&page=0&prefix=false&query=peak%20design&sort=byPopularity&type=story https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=pastWeek&page=0&prefix=fal... https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=youtube.com https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=youtube.com shows about 24 YouTube links in the last 24 hours, so it's not like links to YT are incredibly rare.

  I feel similarly, and the text links in a sister reply were helpful. This kind of story only really needs the two images of the bags side by side to make its point. Regarding videos, within Firefox I simply have autoplay turned off entirely, using the following setting: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/block-autoplay https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/block-autoplay Youtube still works fine with this setting flipped, with one difference: on the first pageload, I must explicitly click play before a video starts. This is my strong preference anyway, so I don't mind one bit.
