given a lot of auto-play video in my own feed, I'm presuming it's not all actually 'watched'. if they'd give a separate number on videos 'listened' to (where I actually unmute the audio), I'd take that number more seriously.

This wouldn't be too accurate anymore either, because now even audio autoplays.
Is this a setting or experiment or something? It doesn't happen for me.
Neither for me. Videos play, but the audio is always muted. I have to enable it to play for each video, and have for more than a year.
Apparently they've tested it for a year or so already and are now doing a wider rollout. http://www.wxyz.com/money/consumer/dont-waste-your-money/fac...
