the world is so much bigger and more complex and interconnected than you could imagine! learn about your local botany because learning about the world around you is one of the greatest joys you can experience

That's exactly how I feel about learning about birds! It's such a beautiful thing to realize that every single organism lives its own life, and yet they're all connected and influence each other

thats how i felt learning about palentology! i see a horsetail on the side of the road & go "your bazillion-great grandparent got munched on by a stegosaurus"

i like the concept but it generally just breaks for me. might be because i use ublock origin

Personally? Huuuge turn-off. I've had times where the sound is just way too loud, or I have to search the page very hard to turn it off, etc. I generally do hit play when it's an option, I like having that control.

big turn off; i used to be on tumblr when that was big on both personal and roleplay sites (circa 2014) and i disliked it then, dislike it now. having music is ok tho if i can turn it on myself

i enjoy gimmicky features like this, but if you add it may be a good idea to have it paused or off by default?

Necessary. Required.

interesting how polarizing it is! I'm personally a huge hater (let me listen to my own shitttt) but there are some sites where it's like essential to the atmosphere, which i can respect. thx for your responses :P

It annoys me when its looooud or when I cant find the player.. I used to have a music player on my tumblr blog and had autoplay turned off because I used to hate it. I find it endearing nowadays. I kinda like when im being forced to listen to music tho, gives me a chance to hear something ive never heard before.

i think its ok if you warn people about it in the index but generally pretty awful imo

huge yes from meeee, i love it when people's personal sites are just jam packed with parts of themselves. + the mute tab button is right there, it's nbd. i love it when personal sites are very clearly for the webmaster's enjoyment and nobody else haha

i tend to have sound off unless i'm already listening to something so usually wasted on me! definitely want a very visible play/pause button though

Don't like it at all. In general I don't like web experiences that don't give the user the choice to opt in.

not really a problem for me since pretty much all browsers have it turned off by default

I have Firefox set so it doesn't autoplay media. if some music gets through, I mute the tab. I'm thankful for the sites that start with the music toggled off

i personally prefer it off by default, as too often there's no volume slider. i dont like having to turn down my whole computer audio for one site. music in general is lovely though, when the option is there

I like it. One of my pages used to have a mp3 player feature with a whole playlist and an option to pause/skip songs but it ended up breaking so I took it down

Imo for me the concept is cool in theory, overstimulating in practice. I just prefer to have a embed plsylist on some pages and call that it
