Ugh. Yuck. I hate the annoying featured videos with a passion, and actually liked the fact that if I scrolled fast enough down the page they stopped playing. Honestly, I don't need to hear the same stupid video 5-6 times as I click off the page to follow a link and then bounce back to the main article that I'm reading (on a mobile device, it's usually faster and easier to bounce back and forth in the same page than it is to open links in new tabs/windows, like you would on a desktop browser). I wish that those stupid things were set to NOT autoplay.
