@philvuchetich If there's a song in my home timeline I may want to listen to the song while I continue scrolling, rather than having to stay in one place until it's finished. Same with some videos. Personally I rarely let a video play out while I am scrolling away unless I am interested in continuing to watch it. I either don't play it in the first place or stop it.
