@mcc I only recently discovered that there's an option tucked away to turn that off. I expect they'll remove that before long though.

Seems like that's the progression. Hide an option deep in settings, then use "nobody turns it off anyway" as a justification for removing it.

@glyph @mcc I found it in my account Settings, "Playback and performance" section.

Under the Browsing heading, there's a switch for Video previews.

@mike @glyph @mcc It's there to avoid auto play on mobile since you can have limited data.
It's the first thing I did when they added that annoying behavior.
Didn't know it affected the desktop version of the website as well. 🤔

@froyok @mike @glyph @mcc it could be a laptop on a metered connection. I definitely appreciate this kind of data saving feature

@mike @glyph @mcc beware that at least once it's turned itself back on for me ("teehee! oops!"), and you have to set it on each device, because of course.

@mike @glyph @mcc Thanks! I didn't know this was an option! Turned it off immediately.
