...and they ALL follow the same shitty format. Absolute worst site layout! It is as if they don't actually want you to view their site.

Also, any site that has a stupid fucking "subscribe to our whatever" overlay or anything else that pops up as I am trying to read gets killed faster that I can remember what it was I came there for in the first place.

Liveleak started doing that shit where the video follows you as you go to the comments, guess what site I don't view anymore? If I want to view it I use Tubeoffline. With DailyMail (which still publishes WW2 propaganda, holocaust survivor stories, etc) I will use Torch browser to download any videos.

Fucking Idiots is right!

Cant even go to most news sites. They'll eat right though my data.

They are no longer gatekeepers, they have lost the narrative, they have to push their videos' sights and sounds upon you.

Theyre not stupid. It's marketing and very much deliberate

It is ok to autoplay videos on a video website. That is it.

For example if you click on a suggested video on a side panel you are going to want it to play. You illustrated your intent that you want that video to play. But in case someone opens multiple videos in multiple tabs to watch something later it should only play once focus is on that tab.

Another thing that is good is good videography. People should be able to notice your video playing and stop it before it gets loud and annoying.

would be great, except I don't feel like doing that every time I go to a new news page. I just would love a ublock origin list only for videos so I don't have to do this task

It's another drop in the bucket to why I prefer using archives. No autoplay bullshit there.

You can block the element with ublock origin but it's per page.. so the next time you go there to read something the video will be there again.

The archive sites have an error that prevents them from loading at all. I use uMatrix and unblock various elements when I want to see something like a video. Usually, most of the crap the page tries to load is unnecessary.

I rarely have an issue with archive.today and prefer it over wayback. Content was allegedly removed from wayback, wayback when pizzagate got smashed on and they lost a lot of shit. Archive.today also has a download option to save to disk.
