For a long time the grid of videos on the homepage has been slightly misaligned. I imagine the different rows belong to different teams. This means you can't hover your mouse in the gaps between columns while you scroll to prevent videos autoplaying when moused over.

I find the autoplay so annoying because it hides the thumbnail which was carefully designed to communicate why I should click on the video and replaces it with, usually, a talking head or stock footage. Often the video gets inexplicably added to my watch history, and if I do choose to click on it I have to go back to the beginning because I missed the start of the audio

You can disable autoplay. Both on desktop and on mobile (not sure about TVs)

It's buried in the settings but it's there.

It's stored in a cookie or the browser local storage and "conveniently" forgotten every few days for me.

it had never reset for me even once, so I'm not sure what's that about
