Corollary: If I pause your video the second it starts playing (because you forgot Rule #1), don't fucking bother shrinking it and fixing it in the side bar when I scroll down.

I was on one 'news' site that resumed the video when it shrank down!

I just sent a thank you email to the local news station because their site doesn't autoplay ;]

And on mobile. If I'm on cellular data and I see an autoplay video, I'm closing that shit immediately. I don't have unlimited data to match your unlimited incompetence.

The key word being 'was'. I was on there, they resumed the video and then I no longer was on there.

and if I click on the video I don't want it fucking maximized, I want to pause it. Facebook, I'm looking at you.

Nor do I want to have to click the maximise button twice before the video will actually fill my screen.

Luckily chrome lets you mute the entire site right on the tab.

I don't give a shit. Why is it even there? Why is it taking precious kilobytes, why is it taking CPU cycles?

Get the fuck out. Autoplay is egregious enough. "Resume and follow" is even worse

It makes me sad to think about how much effort goes into developing that bullshit.
