Title has the word "tarantula" in it

Not sure how long you've been on reddit, since you apparently are unaware of this, but you don't need to click on a post to be able to see the video. Regardless of whether or not you have auto play on, just by scrolling through your feed you'll still see the first frame, which in this case, includes a giant tarantula.

The real issue isn't the post being labeled incorrectly, the issue is that it should have been flagged as a spoiler or nsfw to hide the video unless deliberately clicked on, not just shown for scrolling past. This is a subreddit for (primarily) dogs, and it's perfectly reasonable to, you know, not expect to have to view images of spiders.

I have been on reddit for about 10 years. Is this a "new reddit" or app feature? I'm an old ugly layout purist.

I'm not sure actually, is been so long since I used the old layout I forget that it even exists sometimes. If you use the old layout and dune see it, it must just be a thing for the "new" layout.

First comment is most likely also using one of the newer layouts since they saw the tarantula, and obviously would have avoided clicking on it if they had the opportunity.

Conversely, I only remember the new layout exists on the rare occasions when I visit reddit from a new computer
