So many autoplaying videos on the page, and none of them are the video that the article is about.

This is the original video, for those looking: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=77ubC4bcgRM
PSA: it's easy to miss on the first watch because the big action happens in the background behind the gate.
Thanks, first watch all I saw was the driveway crack appear. Second pass could be mistaken for a parallax effect as the entire background shifts forward!
So, I recommend seeing it in 3 passes. 1st pass, see the right 1/3rd area of the video. It shows the 2 sides moving. Then see the middle 1/3rd area of the video. It shows both the movement and the rupture in the ground. Then see the left 1/3rd area of the video. It shows the rupture on the ground clearly.
Link added to the top text. Thanks!

Interesting. I see no other video. I use brave so maybe it blocked all the ads and noise.
Firefox with AdBlocker Ultimate. Also saw no other videos, thankfully.
OT, but the company behind that extension seems to be a bit shady.

uBlock Origin is open source, very efficient, and seems to be well regarded around these parts.

Thanks for letting me know. I always confuse the two and ended up with the "wrong one" I guess.... though they haven't given me any trouble or annoyances so far (they just open a page where I can volunteer to make a payment every now and then, but it's easy enough to close the tab and ignore it).
The article is aweful as well. How could they open with a "screenshot of the movement" with a straight face?
It’s the first YouTube embed in the article.
javascript claims another victim. It's not good to run javascript by default.
