-Suggestion: embed youtube videos with?rel=0 option
+Suggestion: banish youtube suggested videos after finished playing

Text:

When embedding an iframe youtube video, there are usually a few things we can choose. If the controls should be visible.... and '''if there should be video suggestions shown after the video finishes playing.'''
Currently, Dozuki does show thumbnails of suggested videos.
-You should consider banishing this (...?rel=0 option for iframe)
+Here's why you should consider banishing this (...?rel=0 option for iframe):
* We have no control over what videos are shown as suggestions. It's youtube algorithm. This means there's a good chance the suggested videos will be links to our competition for example!
* It's distracting. Unlike Youtube's goal, which is to keep you clicking on more videos to see more ads, we want the user to watch a short video and move on. The video thumbnail suggestions are a serious distraction.
What do you think?
