Dude, FUCK these files.catbox.moe videos. There’s no way to tell if it’s a video or photo before opening it and it goes straight into the audio of the video. My wife has got pissed at me twice now because a loud ass video starts playing while she’s asleep.
There has got to be a better way. You should label your post as a video at least. Fuck!
I am used to checking to see what type of a file it is first because I am usually downloading off of usenet and I have to throttle back to watch videos. I don't know what the site looks like on mobile but on PC it is easy for me to figure out what type of embed it is going to be before I click on it. If I find another video with loud audio maybe I will add a volume warning in title, I do try to be courteous.
Yeah my regular glasses have a little blue light protection built in but I do usually see a lot of screens during the day and lately I have no trouble falling asleep but instead wake up sometime in the very early morning for a while and, unwisely probably reach for the phone.

If you hover over the + it will tell you what kind of file it is before you click on it. Otherwise, mute or use headphones.
This is a user-error, you can't blame me for that...

Yeah I should have turned the volume down first, now that I have been burned twice I will hopefully learn.

In retrospect it is just funny. Keep in mind my original comment was written at 4 AM...

Couldn't sleep or what? You know the light from screens even in dark mode messes with your system.
