Ask HN: Why does Reddit force you login to disable auto play?

Reddit does not have an option to disable auto play on reddit.com

Is this a new feature?

Cause they want you to have a reason so you can log in and (1) they can track you and (2) you are one step closer to participating.

Really though I hate the “new” interface of reddit where, with my neurodivergence, I am greatly distressed by the ads blending with content.
