IMO the worst are videos playing without sound that are difficult/impossible to stop. They just sit there burning up data.

THIS is what a pointless waste of finite resources looks like.

Bandwidth really isn't finite - the hardware for that has a limited lifespan regardless of whether it's used or how much it's used. It's just a way for companies to try to milk you for more money. You already pay far more for your internet than you should.

Well finite for consumers. Especially mobile users.

i'm on projectFi and each MB costs me $0.01, so a 100MB video just cost me $1. Auto-playing videos, or auto-buffering video costs a lot.
