I know you guys want videos to autoplay so you can collect on the ad revenue from us 'watching' these videos, but a lot of us browse this site at work between projects. I don't mind if you auto play the video, but don't have the sound up. It's not very user friendly, and I don't want any surprises coming out of my speakers at work surrounded by my co-workers.

Auto-play is definitely one of the worst trends to hit the internet recently.

Thanks for the feedback! Autoplay is something that we're experimenting with and will continue to adjust based on performance and feedback like this.
