A 120MB video downloading and playing in real time as a torrent is a lot more impressive than a 1MB clip. A page showing a 120MB video that is not DDOSed by making it to the front page of Hacker News is even more impressive ;)

This is also not different (on desktop) from visiting a Youtube channel page which has an auto-play "intro" video. I just hope this at least tries to detect device/connection type before starting on cellphone. Wonder if there is an HTTP 'connection-metered' header or something like that...



I can turn off autoplay on YouTube. I know, when I visit youtube, that it's going to be bunch of video.
