> Both services offer to disable the auto-play

Twitter specifically won't disable autoplay for everything:

The option text reads:

Videos will automatically play in timelines across the Twitter website. Regardless of your video autoplay setting, video, GIFs and Vines will always autoplay in Moments.

I removed Moments from the ui with Stylish the same day they launched it, and image/video previews entirely in the main timeline. The selectors you want to hide are ".expanding-stream-item:not(.open) .js-media-container", ".expanding-stream-item:not(.open) .js-adaptive-media-container", and ".moments"
