Honest question, how many of you watch the autoplaying videos on websites ?

They are one of the most infuriating things for me. But I curious to know why is this a popular pattern in websites. Do people actually stop whatever they were planning to do and watch the video ?

I’ve blocked them on all my devices. But once in a while I see them when I use someone else’s devices and I wonder.

None of me do.

Not me. In fact if it isn’t blocked and I can’t easily get rid of it, I’ll bail on the site altogether.

Honestly don’t understand what the benefit to anybody is. If I want to watch it, I will, if I don’t, I want. They’re just making the overall experience worse.

I assume it’s some bonehead manager that thinks it looks cool or will increase engagement though.
