Looking for a uBlock blocklist that blocks those auto-playing videos that get inserted to so many web articles these days. (lemm.ee)

A lot of internet publications today have videos in the middle of their articles that have nothing to do with the actual content. Example in this WIRED article here.

I'm wondering if there is an active blocklist for this kind of content? I already have uBlocks "annoyances" all subscribed. These videos slow down the pages and are too numerous to block individually.

I like NoScript in theory, but I had to stop using it. It broke too many websites to the point of unusability for me. I just stick with uBlock Origin and use the element zapper as needed anymore.
