User blog comment:MisterWoodhouse/An Update on the Future of Featured Video/@comment-168424-20191210214851

@Mavoc pretty much nailed it.

I would add that I really hate Featured Videos... they are huge and rarely compelling or interesting. Autoplay videos on any site automatically give me a negative impression of a site. Make them less obtrusive, that's all I ask. The content will never be consistently compelling, so make it less irritating.
