If you have a video that autoplays at the top of your article, and I have to scroll past it to read the article, I don't want it to pop out and scroll down along with me. It blocks the top third of the screen. Who even thinks of that? Why would a person in charge of making decisions say "Oh, yeah, neat. I like the way that works, let's not change anything." I don't want any videos to autoplay at all ever for any reason. If I scroll past it, it should autostop.

Fucking web developers.

Edit: Yes, you're right, it's not the fault of web developers. At least, it's mostly not their fault. They still came up with this shit, but it's executives and middle managers who demand it.
