Autoplay is a pain .. the first time it caught me I thought the d thing was switched off, then hours later found it was still playing and had loaded and played about twenty vids I would not have watched in a fit, and what about when you can't stop a YT video when despite everything you do it keeps playing even if you close the window ..

Please stop autoquoting, /u/MartinTimothy. This is actually a good comment; I've no cause against it otherwise.

But quoting implies that somebody else is saying it, and your constant use of quotes when you're not quoting anybody is wrecking havok on my internal reading heuristics. It's really irritating.
