Agreed.

Though how often have you found autoplay by default makes YouTube useful?

For multi-parts videos?

So, not very often.

Multi-part videos exist? Just...why?

Youtube videos are up to 12 hours.

That's reminiscent of the good ol' VCR days.

Because for certain things, it's better to split the content on multiple parts. For example, I was watching a series of videos on Windows Server administration and the content was split into multiple parts and it made sense.

Still, why does YT need to default to autoplay on every time I load a watch page?
