Thumbnails and descriptions are not a good substitute for video, especially on social media. It's along the lines of ‘I'm not reading allat’—‘I'm not describing my video or photoshopping a thumbnail’. Look at alt text use for example.
> Autoplaying doesn't help with that.
I guess in your experience it doesn't. In my experience, scrolling Twitter and Telegram with autoplay, it's very rare to have to expand a video, or want it be paused ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
