Octopus Overlords

Is there a way to turn the reddit embedded video links autoplay off? And why does it default to being turned on?

Sorry for my ignorance and to ask for change. I just hate being blindsided by self playing video.

This is the post in particular that keeps auto playing every time I open the page

Ya I hate hearing that each time that thread loads. I figure Id just let it go until we were off the page.

The following guide from ghacks.net walks you through the process of fixing such annoyances:
