X com disable autoplay Autor: UrCatness

X (Twitter) is trying to become TikTok. The algorithm wants to suck you into a passive stream of video "slop," draining your focus and killing your ability to read deeply.

It is impossible to focus on a thoughtful text thread when a video is moving in your peripheral vision. Your eyes are hardwired to look at motion, and the app exploits that.

X Autoplay Blocker gives you your agency back.

The Features:

Reading First: Your timeline remains calm and static. No motion to hijack your attention.

Intentional Viewing: Videos are "locked up" by default. If you actually want to watch something, just click it.

Focus Mode: Read threads from start to finish without getting distracted by the next dopamine hit.


The Philosophy:
Social media should be a tool you use, not a trap that uses you. Stop the scroll-trance. Stop the passive consumption.

Cook your feed. Don't let the feed cook you.
