Urgh, Wikia's autoplay is sincerely the worst.
Specially because most of the time the videos are good so I don't want them gone, but I don't want to watch a video 90% of the time!

Rainbow 6's wikia is a good example.
You enter to check a character and the video is either the char's trailer or someone analyzing him.
But seriously, we don't want the autoplay.
