Youtube takes away control

[Brickjectivity]

***edit*** This thread is in error. Autoplay works.

There's no longer a way to turn off 'Autoplay', so you can no longer curate your own experience. Its a propaganda feed now. Whatever political or sexual crap they want to shovel is going to come on screen next. There's no point anymore. I won't be posting anymore information from there.

I think (hope) that at some point Web 3 and blockchain alternatives to YouTube could gain traction.

It means that they go ahead and start another video at random when one finishes. That was not so until recently.

Well that's clearly outrageous

Its a change to our deal. The deal is that I, a human, select videos to view. The new deal is that I am a pig to be fed slop.

The really sad thing is that this strategy is probably going to work with enough people to make it a success.

For what it is worth, it does not seem to have happened to me yet.

Maybe it is a country-specific change?

I may be being too optimistic (yes, that happens), but I don't think that such a change can be well accepted.

It didn't happen for me until today, but for some it started last month.

Its just yet another irritating thing that batty CEO pushes into its viewership because she wants it her own way.

It's in the settings on my phone and Xbox YouTube apps to turn autoplay on/off.

As you can see the OP realized that he was in error. Sometimes, either because I did something that I did not realize that I did or perhaps due to other factors the autoplay can be accidentally turned on. I sometimes use it since it tries to find videos that I like, but too often it is wrong so I usually have it off. It is just another function of YouTube that you can either use or shun.
