Auto play may not be as greeting like automotone, but it is definitely disturbing. Social networks have been in a hurry to add the so -called feature to their offerings, but it is not always welcomed.
On mobile, permanent looping can eat in your data and remove your battery-not to mention that a video of a wrong time video on your phone can be embarrassed. And some videos have disturbing content that you don’t want to see without a warning.
The good news is that you can close auto -play on most of the big services. How is it here
