I usually assume an unrequested, auto-playing, rapid-moving video at the top of a page is one of those trashy video-as-hero-image things and scroll to get it away so I can actually pay attention to what's on the page.

For me, it’s in plaintext, at the top of the page, for both mobile and desktop - not in an auto playing video. I get that hating on Dropbox’ diversification is a HN pastime, but please be rational and not emotional.

  No, thanks. I'm okay having a healthy balance of clear thought and normal human emotion. This has nothing to do with either. Why did you mention that? Quit derailing. The video is right next to the text. Now that I know there's text there, I could ad block the nuisance, but I'm not interested in the tool. Or continuing this conversation. Go have your unmanaged, unrecognized, denied emotions somewhere else.

    > but I'm not interested in the tool What are you doing in this post? HN guidelines are clear about fostering open, quality discussion. This is not a thread to rant about Dropbox just because you hate it.

      I didn't rant about Dropbox.
