wi would word it like: feature request: (toggle) option in settings to disable autoplaying trasilers in discovery queue; imo, steam should also offer the option to disable autoplaying trailers in sales pages, tag pages, and also offer the option to disable "auto-rotate games listed in the horizontal scroller" (the one that looks a bit similar to discovery queue)

everything which uses "Jump instructions" will soon vanish from steam...
Jump instructions cost most performance on PC!

I warned you guys years ago...!

"autoplaying" video or audio is a typical limitation for having no Jump instructions...

Just like "auto saving" (in games) btw!

I don't know what ye mean, mate. Maybe because for me animated marketing and microtrailers are deactivated, as this is a pesky, unsettling, fidgety shop UI with constantly shi­­te moving whenever you only remotely touch something with the mouse. I deactivated it here:

Discovery Queue Preferences

There's no 10-sec preview whatsoever for me. Video autoplay is deactivated with me as well, of course. All this auto-this and auto-that is the brain cancer everywhere these days. For retarded lab monkeys, they need te autoplay everything. Autoplay entire games is the latest rage, it seems.

The beta discovery queue is absolute brain cancer as well to me already as it is. Now I need an extra click to see the shop site with all the information that I need to decide whether or not I will ignore the title, follow it or even want it on me wishlist. If that's the new discovery queue dysfunctionality they plan on forcing down the customers' throats, then I am done with that muck altogether.

I mostly only use the web for discovery and then look it up explicitly in the Steam shop, because all that overladen catalogue trash that I am not interested in, and yet I get barraged with it despite me filters and already ignored titles in the thousands and ignored “curators”, is just wasting my time and leads to something that psychology and sociology call "ego depletion" [“Thinking, Fast and Slow” by D. Kahnemann, Nobel Prize in Economics]. It tires people by the billions these days, and they are not willing to do anything, e.g., playing a demanding game, after that at all anymore.

Steam executives and UI designers worldwide might have never heard of this effect. Discovered by psychologists but awarded a Nobel Prize in Economics. Not by accident, but because of the importance of its devastating impact on economics.

Ego depletion kicks in whenever we have to deal with shi­te we loathe, which leads to all kinds of suppression of emotions or intuitive behaviour. It is taxing on the nervous system and depletes yer blood glucose level and thereby deprives people of motivation for doing something else after that, whether physically or cognitively demanding doesn't matter.

Understandably enough, you want whatever bothers ye to be gone. Steam actively provides to people not willing to play or even only “discover” new titles anymore by barraging them with their uncustomisable UI that keeps pis­­sing them off.

The entire industry that publishes on Steam suffers already from Steam's broken, mucked-up discovery system. And, as I already can see in the beta, it's getting worse, not better. I will not use their new, even more cumbersome, clunky, additional clicks-demanding queue at all because it leads to ego-depletion. Point-blank period. And I need my energy and motivation intact and not gone just because I have visited the Steam shop again.

Occasionally I am still using the classic one. Though I have to ignore 97% of the titles that I hate already at first glance and which keep managing to ignore all me ignore tags and filter settings, just because I have played a game with this or that tag in it, Steam purports.

Absolutely ludicrous and infuriating. And with 97%, I mean 97 out of 100 titles. Not 9 out of 10. That doesn't even come close. It takes about 30+ titles to rummage through and waste me time before I find something even only worth following, because Steam's discovery system sucks major as­s.

So, yeah, what ye want to do, if ye want to avoid ego-depletion and remain fit for the things you were planning to do, like actually playing a game or going to work afterwards, is to avoid whatever forces something onto you that you hate but have to deal with anyway or whatever else forces you to suppress intuitive emotions. Give it a wide as possible berth!

If this discovery queue muck keeps playing for ye even with my settings, go back to the normal Steam UI. Or avoid the discovery queue altogether. There's no other, certainly no better way. Life is too short to have other people make it feel like an emotional hell for ye.
