  It would be nice to read the title and look at the thumbnail to get an impression before blasting "never gonna give you up" through my speakers.

  Yep, and I'm ready to watch said video as soon as I press the play button. I haven't really used chrome much in years, as Firefox is my main browser. But even with Firefox, stopping autoplay seems to be an ongoing cat and mouse game.

  If I say "no auto-playing videos" then I mean No Auto-Playing Videos. I don't expect you or my browser to start second guessing that with "oh, but probably it's OK on this site...?" I do recall a Firefox discussion about how they can't 100% block videoes because there will always be another way - eg do animated gifs count, or javascript that shows a rapid sequence of images - but just because it can't be perfect doesn't mean it isn't worth doing.

  I only read the comments usually, if the comments are good, maybe I'll watch the video.
