    Am I the only one who finds those stupid looping shorts annoying? It honestly makes me feel like I have amnesia… The second I hear the video transition into a loop I’m like nope, I’m out of here…

      My wife will show me instagram nonsense and it’s just annoying as fuck. There’s text and video and speaking all at the same time immediately in the video, there’s no possible way to get all of it on the first view, so you have to let it loop. I fucking hate it

        It’s even worse if you refuse to download the app or make an account. My friend used to send me Instagram links fairly frequently (until they started allowing you to download the videos instead) and the instant you open the page the video starts playing muted, with the cookie shit covering half of it. By the time you’ve dismissed that and unmuted it you’ve missed the start of the clip, and for some reason it doesn’t let you replay without making an account (or refreshing the entire page but that muted the video again)

      It’s one of these things where i can’t even imagine the target audience for.

      There’s a plug-in that forces the YouTube ads to play as normal videos that end when you get to the end. Or you can just straight up hide the while section.
