I don't get why we need videos to auto play on some websites.

I was in class today browsing the news, clicked on an article and forgot my laptop speaker volume was still at max. Guess what happened? Autoplay. Not even the video from the article but AN AD, for a moment the prof. paused and everyone looked around, but I quickly hit the mute button so it did not last too long.

Who ever thought autoplay (WITH ADS) was a good idea?

    Say what you want, but the ads got the attention they wanted

    @DjSall I've got that, but it did not block the video ad, probably because it's not in the filter list yet

    Couldn't agree more. Those autoplay videos are only good for the elderly who can't figure out how to play videos on your site. Its intended effect is to make me interested by the sight and sound of a playing video and then spend more time on their site watching the video. Its actual effect, over time I get familiar with which sites use autoplay and I avoid clicking on links that would direct me to said sites.
