Totally off topic. But this is something I found to be very annoying in relation to the technical side of video:
The autoplay.
A few days back, everytime I scroll through the posts-list, there was this annoying deranged Alex Jones voice.
But this time, it was interfering with my musicplaylist. The cacophony was most disturbing.
So, for anyone looking for some solace, there is a solution:
First step: For Firefox, Librewolf users: go to settings, privacy settings, and set the standard to blocking for autoplay.
Next step: U-block origin: first tab: block media elements. This has a standard size of 50kb. But you could up it to say 1500KB. This way, the pictures of the posts are still loading, and should there be a YT video with lazy load, at least you can see the poster.
For all other users: install ublock origin as an extension or add-on, and set the size of the block media size as mentioned in next step.
CAVEAT: If there is a video with sound that is smaller than 1.5Mb: it might autoplay.
