Why do these website keep forcing autoplay vids on you ffs.
Who decided that was a good idea, whose brainwave was that. That;s exactly what I want is to be greeted by a loud, unexpected screeching voice when i visit your shitty website.
- tjpnz 6y agoSo they can boost their watch time and get more advertisers.
- taneq 6y agoThe same logic that leads them to a/b test different styles of 'close popup' button and choose the smallest one.
- ancarda 6y agoIf you're using Firefox you can block autoplay: Settings > Privacy & Security > Permissions > Autoplay > Block Audio and Video Not sure about Chrome, but it may have a similar option.
- xnyan 6y agoChrome does not, but Edge lets you do it.
- skrause 6y agoWell, which Edge and how? Because I'm using Chromium Edge, have enabled the option "Show block option in autoplay settings" in edge://flags/, changed the "Media autoplay" option to "Block"... and it still autoplays videos.
- ancarda 6y agoIs that the case for all websites? I wouldn't be surprised if some particularly abusive websites are exploiting a bug to keep their videos playing
- lordnacho 6y agoDoes this work for all sites? I'm pretty sure I've done that but now and again I get a site that seems to ignore it.
