  1. Youtube algorithm before: it seems that you like this kind of music. I'll propose to you an hour of music of the same genre, including some gems unknown to the general public! ^_^

    Youtube algorithm now: it seems that you like this kind of music. I'll propose to you the very same song over and over and over in an endless loop, only alternating it every three hours with a similar version of the song uploaded to a different channel!

  3. „Nur noch ein Video.“ - und plötzlich ist es Mitternacht.
    Autoplay macht aus einer bewussten Entscheidung passiven Konsum: Das nächste Video oder die nächste Folge startet, bevor du überhaupt wählen musst.
    Schalte Autoplay bei YouTube und Netflix aus – und stoppe Kurzvideos bewusst. Jeder Klick auf „Play“ ist eine kleine Entscheidung für deine eigene Zeit.

  5. The #EuropeanCommission has accused #Meta of breaching the #DigitalServicesAct by failing to address the mental health risks of “#addictivedesign” features like #autoplay and #infinitescroll on #Facebook and #Instagram. The investigation also considers the impact of these features on children’s sleep and the potential for algorithms to promote harmful content. If the charges are upheld, Meta could face fines up to 6% of its annual turnover. theguardian.com/technology/202 #tech #media #news

Apparently, all it takes to conquer the media world is a trillion unskippable ads and a sprinkle of algorithmic chaos. Remember, kids: if you can't beat 'em, let #autoplay do the job! 📺💻

  19. YouTube has done the impossible by creating a feature that combines the annoyance of unmuted #autoplay videos with the charm of a malfunctioning Speak & Spell 🎤🤖. Users are trapped in an endless loop of robotic nonsense that makes you long for the simplicity of dial-up internet. 🚫🔊

  22. Posting in case this helps someone else.

    For the last month or two, I've had problems visiting some sites with #Firefox. The sites use #Cloudflare, and it would give the "prove you're a human by checking this box" prompt. I'd never had problems with this before.

    Suddenly that started failing consistently. Clicking the box would do something, but then just reload the challenge. There was no way to pass it. I tried reconfiguring and even disabling the "uBlock Origin" extension, cookie policies, other things - no luck.

    Based on a comment on this discussion:
    ask.metafilter.com/385480/fixi

    ... I tried disabling the "Disable HTML5 Autoplay" extension, and ... fixed! That was *not* an obvious candidate for causing the problem, unlike adblockers etc.

    So it appears Cloudflare changed their in-browser testing JS such that it requires HTML5 autoplay to pass the check. Which is ... special. I can think of lots of people with very good reasons to have that disabled.

    Anyways, I hope this helps someone.

  24. Ars Technica: “Awful”: Roku tests autoplaying ads loading before the home screen. “Owners of smart TVs and streaming sticks running Roku OS are already subject to video advertisements on the home screen. Now, Roku is testing what it might look like if it took things a step further and forced people to watch a video ad play before getting to the Roku OS home screen.”

  26. Nothing is as awful as auto-play when you're trying to find your headphones and suddenly realize a video is playing! Or when you don't know the volume of the speakers is turned up. But the real shame is when a 3-hour video plays, and you weren't even there to watch it. I'm not gonna name a company like #Google or #Meta. #baddesign #autoplay #AutoplayVideos #shameonyou

  29. Truly, one of the great eternal mysteries is WHY THE F #Apple does not give #iOS users an ability in #Safari to permanently, thoroughly, and with extreme prejudice DISABLE any website from EVER even so much as DARING to #autoplay a #video, be it an ad or otherwise, when that user is on a cellular data connection

  31. Hier übrigens ein Selbstexperiment was #HeyWolfi auf #youtube gemacht hat!

    Es dauert etwa 15 Stunden bis der Youtube #Autoplay einem von einem Barbyphone Unboxing Video zu #Rechtsextrem #Propaganda geleitet hat, wenn man zwischendrin nichts drückt!

    Also ok zu einer Talkshow wo einer behauptet die Grünen würden Deindustrialisieren. Schauts euch einfach an.

  33. #YouTube's #enshittification continues unabated.

    I've noticed recently that when I pick a lone song to play, YouTube plays the song, and that's it.

    Yes, yes, I have autoplay turned off. This is *not* the problem.

    The problem is that I used to have a handy option, once the song was over, to pick a mix of songs based in the *first* song that I picked.

    I no longer have this option.

    I bet someone at YouTube was unhappy about the autoplay being turned off, and decided to nerf that feature.

    Idiots.

  35. I hate #autoplay . how is it possible that #firefox allow some websites to waste my data volume even autoplay is disabled.

  37. Let's spread the hate around. I went into Amazon Prime. It had been a while since I had been there. I quickly noticed that Amazon hires baboons as GUI designers.

    I promise the baboons are going to come back later in this story.

    1. What's with the autoplay bullshit? You want to pause your train of thoughts for a second, and bam! You get a preview of whatever you stopped on. I don't want this shit. Why don't you let me press a button to start the bloody preview?

    "It's been like that since forever."

    I haven't been searching through Prime since forever, thank you very much.

    2. If you get to the row of exclusives, you're in for a real treat. Not only autoplay is a thing, but if you stop for a second, the offering you stopped on will expand, pushing the other offerings off the screen. If you move from the expanded offering, then it will return to its original size. Don't be confused for too long, because the new offering you're now on will expand. Rinse and repeat.

    Who thought this is good GUI design? Oh, crap, I've spoiled it above. It was most likely a baboon, one who wanted to show his design teacher that he really knew is shit, customers be damned.

    "Look, the offering expands, and then it returns to size."

    "Wow! A++++++++++++ You really know your shit, you bloody baboon! 👏 "

    Way to make me want to hate everything that comes into my orbit! 👍
