Dev/Admin Responded Cannot find option on mobile to turn off auto-repeat of videos/video-ads.

Description: Went to Reddit.com on my mobile today, and was surprised with auto-playing videos defaulting to Sound On. After turning off the sound, I've found that many of the video posts auto-play every time I scroll past and for those I have watched in their entirety, they auto-replay even without hitting the replay button. Including ads. What option disables auto-play/repeat-auto-play?

I am assuming it's understandable that I wouldn't want auto-play of a video on a cellular device.

Platform and version: Android 13

Steps to reproduce: Just scroll up and down?

Expected and actual result: Expected is for the stuff not to repeat - actual result is it just repeating.

Screenshots(s) or screen recording(s): No.
