And there are people that don't. But it's not just that. There's been pre-roll ads for the featured videos that autoplay obnoxiously, taking up a large space of the article and also when the video finishes playing another ad plays. We got Game of Thrones spoilers on RS Wiki which had a lot of negative reception. And there is no option to disable the autoplay.

There is, to a degree. If you click the cog you get an option to disable autoplay. For two weeks only. Not much, but at least it's always muted autoplay.

I'm not arguing that it takes up way too much space or ads can be obnoxious or incorrect content should be swiftly removed. I'm not happy about this, but I see where they're coming from. It's a plague all over the net.
