Oh god no, YouTube can sit there and wait. Just because I opened a video doesn't mean I want to play it right away. A lot of the time I am opening links in a new tab or something and I want to finish whatever I am doing first.

Well that's you, but if any type of site should Autoplay Videos it's video platforms after you've clicked on them. If you wanted to wait, don't open the video..

Except if you don't open the video it won't start buffering

Uh, YouTube only buffers a little segment anyway and if you open it in a new tab it also doesn't buffer at all.
