I really liked the effect, but took my headphones off to hear my MBP preparing for takeoff.

Bluekitten, you are hellbanned for no apparent reason as of 21 days ago.

Why do people get hellbanned for?

This is the second time she's been hellbanned too.

For no real reason either time. I'm not sure what's going there.

Bluekitten is just the 100th or so reincarnation of recoiledsnake, which is as far as we can tell a Microsoft astroturfing campaign. Lately their sockpuppets are often female, to give people the impression we're banning women when we ban them.

Are there many accounts like that on HN?

This person or group has created lots of accounts, but there are no others like them that we know of.

mediacru.sh returns MP4 videos, though...

You can easily embed MediaCrush videos on your site. I'm one of the devs on MediaCrush, I can answer questions if need be. It brings in webm, mp4, and ogv, but we've fine tuned the encoding more than most people would think to, and we have the video player UI in place if don't want to autoplay.
