This, and autoplay muted videos in a feed like Twitter or Facebook drive me crazy.
You click unmute but you’ve missed 15-30 seconds of audio, so then you have to restart the video and click again.
Just add a “unmute and restart” button!
better yet, just don't autoplay fucking videos! if I want to watch it, I'll click on it!
People that I know don't understand why I don't want to use TikTok. It doesn't bother me that it's "rotting people's brains" or that China is spying on us or whatever.
It's autoplay.
I can't fucking stand autoplay. The first thing I do when I log into YouTube on a new device is disable autoplay. But legitimately infuriates me and I'm not entirely sure why. All I hear when someone is watching TikTok is nonstop sound and videos autoplaying one after another. The sound often isn't even relevant to the video and is just there to make annoying loud noise.
If TikTok were more like YouTube in that I could click on the next video whenever I was ready, I might be into it and actually enjoy it. But it's like someone made a platform dedicated to one of my biggest pet peeves and dialed it up to 11.
The videos are literally the entire point of TikTok. It makes sense that the MAIN feature would autoplay. It's like complaining the pages in an ebook reader are "autodisplay", instead of every single page requiring an additional input to display the text.
What a shit excuse.
Videos are literally the main point of YouTube or Vimeo or even fucking PornHub, but they don't incessantly play and loop nonstop unless you set them to.
I search for what kind of content I want then hit play when I'm ready. If I see interesting related content, I decide whether or not click on it or whether or not to search for something else. It's not a nonstop barrage of spam content that I may or may not be interested in and sensory assault.
YouTube shorts are different, but I'm not referring to those.
