Not sure why you are downvoted. Animated gifs are huge in comparison. One thing to note, however, is that it must be without sound. Auto playing sound of any sort is complete garbage.

> One thing to note, however, is that it must be without sound. Auto playing sound of any sort is complete garbage. Agreed. I don't think I've ever felt the need to have autoplaying sound, and I struggle to think of any benefit from it. I'm willing to keep my mind open, if anyone knows of a good website that effectively creates an experience using autoplay sound, please give me it.

All but demanding that the internet's users bend to the will of a single person's pet project is not likely to garner a positive response, if you must know.

  There's the option of simply not visiting the webpages that offend you. I'm not going to change my writing / guide style just because some people outside of those gaming communities don't like the way they work. Its one thing if you were the target audience, its a totally different thing if you're just a meta-commentator talking about the internet in general.

    Maybe that explains your results. Have a behaviour someone dislikes, they don't revisit, and thus don’t answer your survey question

      I ask on the community forums or on the Discords. These websites have no direct feedback mechanism. The feedback I get is like "That's a confusing paragraph", or "That's a bad strategy. You should be writing about X instead". No one actually cares about the auto-playing videos, unless they're not working. (On page X on Safari, that video doesn't seem to be working was one complaint I got... and then I had to transcode my MP4 settings to get it working there).
