User blog comment:MisterWoodhouse/An Update on the Future of Featured Video/@comment-454133-20191210224750

While I'm inherently hostile to video auto-playing when I visit a wiki, I am thankful for the rate limit and the ability to turn this off in preferences. That counts for a lot.

Usually when video starts playing on a page, my instinct is to murder it, burn it to ash, bury it in consecrated ground to permanently condemn it to never return... and then hunt down its village and burn that too. I'll adblock it if I have to. No loose ends. When I visit a wiki to read about something, I don't want a video battling for my attention. I don't want to fight with the controls to make the damn thing HOLD STILL so I can focus on what I'm looking up. It should never come to that.

So I'd be at war with this feature, except that you had the foresight to give users controls to disable or throttle it, which is wonderful. It's more than many sites offer. Thank you for being respectful to your users!
