Youtube tricks

the #6 autoplay is a very bad thing. I don't want videos autoplaying. I can't watch videos from work, and if they autoplay I'll get in trouble. Videos use too much bandwidth and my IT department polices that.

Please don't use the autoplay feature when posting a video.

Also, what happens when a thread contains many videos with autoplay? It will be like being in a room with many tvs on at once.

Autoplay goes against the best thing about the internet, which is that the reader gets to choose what they read. If I wanted to be force fed stuff, I'd turn on the tv.

Couldn't agree more.

I edited my flashblock settings and removed the Cellar from the white list.

I don't get the embedded youtube videos anymore. Problem solved for me now.

I still think auto play is bad idea.
