Add video autoplay disable choice
I do not want to waste all my mobile data on the videos that download and autoplay before I can turn them off. Sometimes I am in a quiet place and want to check my phone then up pops an article with a video and sound. Scramble to turn volume down, look around embarrassed.... Please just give us an option for autoplay disable.

AUTOPLAY eats people's data limit without their consent or knowledge. Yahoo is basically saying eff the poor and low income community without having a feature that is available on sites that haven't been around anywhere near as long as Yahoo. This also means they have been selling user privacy longer than companies that have more care and concern about the people they are selling out. Stop treating your meal tickets like trash Yahoo, add common basic features to your site like everyone else.

I use Safari and have autoplay "disabled". Videos still autoplay. I stop playback. After a few moments they restart. Very annoying that your system overrides my decision. The customer is always right. Let my decision stand!!!

I need a way to DISABLE auto playing video, when just checking the head lines. Why? Because it sucks. If I want to watch a video topic, I'll click the link to view it. No need to make it auto play.

It is not at all user friendly to make Yahoo videos on autoplay with volume to the max! If i clicked on the article, it is more than obvious I'd want to read it and play the video after. Doesn't need to be forced upon the user with a ****** automatic play.

PLEASE stop the auto-play on videos. It's really hard to read something when a video is playing in the background and then you have to go hunt for it to turn it off. Also it would be great if you could go back to the old rotisserie format.
