Alright, autoplaying videos are probably one of the most annoying things on the internet, and this site has them. That's already an immediate "avoid" of the site any time I see it in the future, but get this: If you pause them, scroll down, and scroll back up, THEY PLAY AGAIN.
Did someone have a stroke while they were coding at About.com? Who the hell thinks that makes sense? At least auto-playing videos might be useful for the non-savvy, but if someone pauses a video it means two things. 1) They want it paused. 2) They know how to resume it in case they want to.
About, tell your coders to go back to their desks for a bit and use some common sense.
Tip for consumers:
If you value your sanity, find a different site with expert opinions. I've gotten this far without using About.com, and I plan on going much further without it.
