User control of autoplay can alter awareness of online video ‘rabbit holes’ - EurekAlert
The rabbit hole contains madness, according to author Lewis Carroll. Online, that madness manifests in the form of increasingly extreme content, often without users realizing it. A new study by Penn State researchers suggests that giving users control over the interface feature of autoplay can help them realize that they are going down a rabbit hole. The work — which the researchers said has implications for responsibly designing online content viewing platforms and algorithms, as well as helping users better recognize extreme content — is available online and will be published in the October issue of the International Journal of Human-Computer Studies.
