"Wikia has begun to load videos that are supposed to be of interest to us. These videos, labelled "Must Watch Videos," appear in the right-hand rail (column) of pages. Editors here are given this friendly warning. The videos may not really be there just because there's a thumbnail and the videos may come with an advertisement which can not be skipped. We bureaucrats have chatted and decided you deserve to be warned. I our opinion, the things are worthless but we can't do anything about them. My answer is to NEVER click on a "Must Watch Video." Wikia is almost certainly collecting metadata about how often they're watched. Let's see if we can make the answer "never." You can always watch a video uploaded by an editor whose username you recognize on a page or at Special:Videos."
