My Issues with AutoPlay Multimedia
Autoplay. The bane of my existance. The woe of my life. The one thing that is wrong with this world.

Actually I'm being dramatic there, but the point still stands.
(If you're a little slow, the point is I hate autoplay multimedia!)

There are other things I dislike, like Underlining (The only place it looks good is in links, otherwise noooooo....), those people who think the Q&A people are there to take abuse (We help because we want to, a little patience is nice. And not swearing because you aren't instantly helped) and some others that I can't be bothered to talk about.

However, Autoplay really grinds my gears, to quote Peter Griffin.

Let me make it clear, I like multimedia as a whole, the part I dislike is autoplay!

If I want to watch your video or listen to your music, then I will turn off my music and click the play button. I like the choice.

It is not cool having a huge file on autoplay, as if I see your profile and it takes ages to load, my impression of you is not a good one. I close the window as soon as it happens.


But now I've gotten completely sick of it, so I've gone and blocked all multimedia from my computer. Its nice, as I no longer have to see your crap.


Though it also means the multimedias that do rock are gone too. (Like Kiironobara's Dress Up Doll, that rocks and I like playing around with it >.< wink .

Look what you made me do >.<

Loo, nice spotting. I'm not one for spelling... but you spelt you, can't, especially and listening wrong mrgreen


It depends where you host it. A YouTube one can be stopped by editing the Url, but if it is actually set to auto start, then you're screwed.
