Please Vlad 🙏
This kind of shit makes Tiktok unbearable to me.
For years I've used a browser extension to stop this, wish it was on mobile.
- Look into youtube revanced
freaky
- What is this picture from, if ya don’t mind me asking?

  But most often used on Hexbear as either an equivalent to OR to make fun of someone for speaking their very dumb truth OR thanks to the layers of irony that everything on Hexbear has to actually express admiration for the view a person has stated.
  
  _or _just _that _it'd _be _funny _to _imagine _the _guy _in _the _picture _saying _that
  
  It's all about context. In this case, if someone stole the floor at a town hall to announce that "whoever first created autoplaying videos should be impaled" most people would definitely look at them confused and a bit appalled but we'd probably applaud it.
  
  Oh and for broader internet meme lore: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/freedom-of-speech-norman-rockwell-painting
  
  I have no idea, it's of some libertarian guy talking at a hearing about uh, school funding? Idk how to get emote lore.
  
  I think it's a Norman Rockwell painting called "Freedom of Speech."
I learned today that on youtube you can have a video repeat if it's in a playlist, it's about time they added that but it's still dumb it has to be in a playlist first.
- There's a loop option in the right click menu.
  
  No way! How did I not know that, TIL
Auto-impaled
TV was always on autoplay and nobody complained about.
- Yeah they did
