better yet, just don't autoplay fucking videos! if I want to watch it, I'll click on it!
People that I know irl don't understand why I don't want to use TikTok. It doesn't bother me that it's "rotting people's brains" or that China is spying on us or whatever.
It's autoplay.
I can't fucking stand autoplay. The first thing I do when I log into YouTube on a new device is disable autoplay. It legitimately infuriates me and I'm not entirely sure why. All I hear when someone is watching TikTok is nonstop incessant sound and videos autoplaying one after another. The sound often isn't even relevant to the video and is just there to make annoying loud noise. The looping is also enraging. It's like sensory overload (no, I don't have autism).
If TikTok were more like YouTube in that I could click on the next video whenever I was ready, I might be into it and actually enjoy it. But it's like someone made a platform dedicated to one of my biggest pet peeves and dialed it up to 11. I don't understand how people find that enjoyable.
The videos are literally the entire point of TikTok. It makes sense that the MAIN feature would autoplay. It's like complaining the pages in an ebook reader are "autodisplay", instead of every single page requiring an additional input to display the text.
What a shit excuse.
Videos are literally the main point of YouTube or Vimeo or even fucking PornHub, but they don't incessantly play and loop nonstop unless you set them to.
I search for what kind of content I want then hit play when I'm ready. If I see interesting related content, I decide whether or not click on it or whether or not to search for something else. It's not a nonstop barrage of spam content that I may or may not be interested in and sensory assault.
YouTube shorts are different, but I'm not referring to those.
I have a feeling that might be a sort of add scam. Like oh look at how much watch time all the videos on this site gets. Imagine the interactions that your ad will get if you pay me to roll your ad on my platform.
Or add another attribute explictly muting the video by default, and disallow autoplay without it.
