Jason Abbruzzese says, “Welcome to the slightly obnoxious future.

Autoplay video is going to find you. Chances are it already has, unless you live a cloistered existence and manage to avoid Facebook or Twitter or any number of media websites.

When you scroll through Twitter, videos and GIFs will automatically start blaring from your computer, Twitter’s announced this week that it had introduced video and GIF autoplay to its service follows on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat (in its Discover section) and various media sites that have begun rolling clips whether or not users want to see them.

Twitter insisted that the change as good for consumers — “See more, tap less” — a notion that many users didn’t quite believe“.

Your Internet is going to explode with annoying autoplaying videos whether you like it or not
