I Hate Autoplay!

If you're going to embed video on your web site, please don't set it to autoplay. There is nothing more annoying than going to a website and having a video start playing automatically. (OK, there are other things that are more annoying, but this one has been bugging me today!)

I surf the web with multiple tabs and browsers, so when a video starts to play I have to frantically search for the offending page to get it to stop. And then some sites have the audacity to not even offer a stop or pause button so you can choose not to watch the video. If that's the case, I close the site and never return.

Rant over.
